  The duo will head around the country over coming months

Adams Brass artists Glyn and Helen Williams will be travelling around the country over coming months as part of their Milestone Tour supported by Adams Brass, Mercer & Barker and Denis Wick.

They will first head to North Wales next weekend (8th November) for an event hosted by Northop Silver Band, with further visits hosted by the South West Brass Band Association (22nd November), the West Midlands Brass Band Association (11th January).

Verwood Concert Brass will host the duo on 17th January, followed by the North West Area Brass Band Association on 18th January and Wantage Band on 25th January.

Wonderful welcome

Speaking about the tour, Glyn and Helen told 4BR: "We have had such a wonderful welcome from each of our hosts on the tour, and we are now really looking forward to these visits over the coming months.

Please get in touch with the organisers as we want to give back to the banding movement as much we have benefitted from over our careers."
