The Band will be conducted by Richard Evans for the evening.

The Band are also delighted to announce that Kirsty Abbotts will be performing as Guest Soloist for the concert. Kirsty is one of the best cornet players around at the present time, having won the Best Soloist award at the 2011 Brass In Concert Championships.

Proceeds from the concert will go towards the Alistair Drinkwater Memorial Fund, which has for many years supported events to help teach young people on the island to play music, and has also raised large amounts of money for various cancer charities.
