Fife ready for the bands

The Fife Brass Band Festival takes place at the end of the month — with plenty to look forward to.

Fife
 

The Fife Brass Band Festival takes place on Saturday 25th April in the Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline.

Entertainment

27 bands are lined up to play concert programmes throughout the day and will provide a wealth of musical entertainment for the audience.

Felling Band from the North of England are once again making the trip to Dunfermline as are Campbeltown Brass from Kintyre.

Local bands

Local Fife bands are also represented by Dunfermline Town, Buckhaven & Methil, Lochgelly, Tullis Russell Mills and Dysart.

This year 2 non contesting bands, Callendar Brass and Arbroath Instrumental Junior Band will take part to give their players experience and they will get comments on their performance by adjudicator, Derek Southcott.

The day starts with bands in Section 4 at 9.30am and tickets are available at the door – adults £5 and concessions £4.
