The Pleasley Colliery Welfare Band recently performed to a full house both upstairs and downstairs.

The venue was the Queens Road Methodist Church Beeston and the concert was organised by councillor Pat Lally for the local community.

Bonus

This is the second time that the band have performed in Beeston and hope to be back later in the year. The concert was one of the first of the season for the band and to play in such a venue with a full audience was a complete bonus.

Good relationship

We are very proud to be associated with this fine community and look forward to many more concerts."
