Glossop Old bring Sunday entertainment to Dobcross

Glossop Old Band is the next Sunday afternoon musical attraction at Dobcross Band Club's 'Showcase Brass' series.

Glossop Old
  Glossop Old are the latest band to entertain the Sunday afternoon audience in Dobcross

Glossop Old Band will bring their form of brass band entertainment to the popular Sunday afternoon 'Showcase Brass!' series at Dobcross Band and Social Club.

Under the baton of Eliot Darwin the Midlands band will travel north on Sunday 11th May (2.00pm) to perform a programme of family friendly music from the opening 'There's No Business Like Show Business' through to their finale of 'a Time for Us'.

Contrasts and soloists

In between the audience will be able to enjoy contrasts with 'Love Unknown', 'Witch of the Westmerlands', 'Conquest of Paradise', 'Valiants Arise', 'The Day though Gavest' and 'Guardian of My Soul', whilst the band will also feature a trio of soloists in Matthew, Rachel and Stuart Hill, with 'Rhapsody for Euphonium', 'Under the Boardwalk' and 'He ain't Heavy'

'Showcase Brass' is a non-profit initiative that aims to bring regular concerts to the heart of community that has a proud tradition of brass band music making.

All about the music

The ethos is simple as organiser Jason M Smith told 4BR: "It's all about the music. We want bands to come and perform their latest concert programmes, try out something new or simply perform sets they are comfortable with. It's for bands to showcase their talents.

It's all undertaken in a relaxed Sunday afternoon manner — so why not come along and enjoy yourselves."

Tickets: £6.50
Call: 01457 873741
Entry also available on the day
