Dyke sell out

A workshop to be held by Black Dyke in Bournemouth is already over subscribed — 3 months before it happens!

Black Dyke
 

The fourth visit of Black Dyke to Bournemouth in early June has already proved to be a sell out success.

The Pavilion Theatre in Bournemouth will host the band on Saturday 7th June in a concert in aid of Wessex Heartbeat, the Southampton based cardiac charity which supports the Cardiac Dept at Southampton Hospital. It has already benefitted from over £45,000 raised by the 13 concerts already organised by Jilly Hills.

The following Sunday morning masterclass by members of the band is already way over subscribed, some thre months in advance, although the organisers are hoping to try and fit in as many people as possible!4BR
