  The two bands will proudly show off their star qualities under MD Philip McCann

British Open Champion, Brighouse & Rastrick and double National Champion, Foden's will be joining together for a star-studded concert this weekend in Huddersfield.

Fresh from their triumphs at Symphony Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, the star bands of 2022 will be directed by Phillip McCann in an appropriately themed 'Hollywood Classics' programme.

The concert will be held at Huddersfield Town Hall on Staurday 22nd October at 7.15pm.

Trophies

The West Riding 'home' band has just returned from a memorable trip to Northern Ireland where they proudly displayed the magnificent gold British Open Shield, whilst their Sandbach friends retained their grip on the equally huge silver National Championship Trophy in London last weekend.

The concert starts at 7.15pm with tickets understandably selling out fast
