Our good friends at Dobcross Silver Band are back for Brass on the Grass. It's sure to be a great day so make sure to put the date in your diary.It's been a very long time! But will be great to be back performing and look forward to seeing our friends and supporters again. Fingers crossed weather remains fine. If not we will play in the Band Club.
Fantastic version of Three Lions here - very well done to Ben Hill-Wilson and friends from RNCM - Royal Northern College of Music. We're hugely proud of our former principal tenor horn Ben, who was also a wonderful teacher and mentor for our beginners during his years with Dobcross Youth.
