Grimethorpe Colliery Band will head to Morley Town Hall on Saturday 10th February to perform as part of the Leeds Best of Brass series.

Directed by conductor Steve Phillips, the Yorkshire band has announced an exciting programme — including the opportunity for the audience to vote on what 'finisher' the band should perform on the night.

Works by Tom Davoren, Mendelssohn, Gounod and Bill Whelan will contrast with parts of the band's well received 2023 Brass in Concert programme in the first half, whilst in the second there are pieces by Crausaz, Sherwin, Manone and RB Hall.

Solo features come from a duet between Rhianon Harding and Mark Walters, horn star Helen Varley, newly appointed solo trombone Rob Wilshaw and euph star Mark Glover.

Vote

In a great piece of proactive interaction, the band will ask the audience to vote on either Respighi's 'Pines of Rome' or Wagner's 'Procession to the Minster' to round the evening off.
