Hammonds the number 1 draw for Morley Best of Brass concert series

Hammonds will kick off the 2024/25 Leeds Best of Brass series at Morley Town Hall next weekend.

Best of Brass
  Hammonds Band will kick off the series as the first band on stage at Morley Town Hall

The 2023/24 Leeds Best of Brass series will kick off next weekend with the first of its eight monthly concerts featuring leading UK bands.

An integral part of the musical attractions provided by Leeds Arts Events & Venues promoted by Leeds City Council the series is hosted at the Grade I listed Morley Town Hall.

Schedule

French Open champion Hammonds open things on Saturday 30th September. One of the form bands of the year, they recently posted a top-10 finish at the British Open with a fine performance off the number 1 draw — so they are quite used to making a mark as the first band to take to the stage.

Interview

There is a taster of what the band is about and one of their star performers with an short interview with star soprano player Alan Morrison.
