Dear Abingdon Blog,
Firstly my apologies because you’re the gentleman I’ve spoken to many times in the Market Square when our clarinet and saxophone groups have played and I’m afraid I don’t know your name!; I was wondering if you would be kind enough to mention the forthcoming Christmas concert by the Abingdon Concert Band on your blog as tickets are now on sale. The details are all below:
The concert is titled “Christmas Joy” and will be held at St Michael’s and All Angels Church on Park Road, Abingdon on Saturday 14th December. The concert starts at 19:30 and finishes at 21:30. Tickets are available on the door or in advance from The Bookstore or Newbury Building Society, priced £7.50 (£5 concessions). Details can also be found on our website www.abingdonconcertband.org.uk .
This will be the band’s first concert under our new Musical Director Neil Brownless and will include a mixture of old favourites and festive music including the music of John Williams, West Side Story and Troika.
What happened to the Salvation Army bands that used to come around carol singing door to door?. It summoned up the spirit of Christmas.
