AN acclaimed brass band will be performing at the Parr Hall to raise money for St Rocco’s Hospice.

Leyland Band will be presenting a special programme of music from stage and screen on Sunday, March 12, at 3pm.

The brass ensemble, which celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2016, regularly perform all over the UK.

They have appeared at renowned venues like the Royal Albert Hall and have been on tours around the world to Japan, Korea, the United States and various countries throughout Europe.

Chris Doran, chairman of Leyland Band, said: “As a resident of Warrington, I’m very much aware of the great work that St. Rocco’s Hospice do and how much they rely on the support of the community.

“Last year’s concert was a great start, but we’d love to get even more at this year’s concert and build it into a fantastic annual event.

“People who haven’t heard the band before are often surprised by the professional standard they produce.”

Tickets are £15 (£12 concessions). Call 442345 or visit pyramidparrhall.com
