Festive flavour for Reg Vardy at Morley

Reg Vardy will provide the latest 'Best of Brass' entertainment at Morley Town Hall this month.

Morley
  Morely hosts the Reg Vardy Band

Morley Town Hall will host the third of its 'Leeds Best of Brass' series of concerts this month, when the Reg Vardy Band will be featured under the baton of Chris Shanks on Saturday 10th December.

The North of England band will showcase a great festive programme — with works from Darrol Barry and Peter Graham to Kevin Larsson to Philip Harper.

And what better way to get you in the right spirit than music from The Pogues to the 12 Days of Christmas, and much, much more.

Their fine soloists will also be featured, with contributions from Gavin Brown and Andrew Hedley.

Interesting pieces

Speaking about their appearance, their long serving horn player Jillian Dixon told 4BR: "We hope to bring the audience music they may know and some interesting lesser-known pieces."

One of those will be the popular 'Balkan Dance'. "That's a great concert piece and ensures that there will be a great connection with the audience. That's pone of the best things of playing in a concert such as this — knowing you're bringing pleasure to so many people."
