  Chris Thomas will be the featured soloist in the concert with Fulham Band

The music of Scottish composer will be heard in the heart of London on Friday thanks to a free concert being performed by Fulham Band under the baton of conductor John Ward.

It will take place at Regent Hall on Oxford Street at 1.00pm and will also feature Cory trombone star Chris Thomas as the guest soloist.

Salvation music

The programme focuses around Peter's Salvation Army music and will feature the concert march 'The Ambassadors', 'Renaissance', the beautiful hymn arrangement 'St. Teresa' and 'Seize the Day', premiered at Regent Hall 10 years ago. Chris Thomas will perform the demanding rhapsody 'The Guardian' and the salsa-inflected 'Fiesta'.
