Concert at The Monastery, Sunday 21st March  - Please come and support the band

Please come and support both the Junior Band and Youth Band at this venue, which has been listed alongside the Taj Mahal and Pompeii as one of the 100 most endangered sites in the world.  This concert replaces the annual spring concert, so come along and bring your friends and family with you. We really need a full house for what will be a truly amazing event for the band. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear both the Youth and Junior Bands perform in one of the world’s greatest buildings, right on your doorstep in Manchester.  Read all about the fascinating history of this magnificent building, its decline and restoration at http://www.themonastery.co.uk/Our-History.html. 

The performance begins at 2.00pm.

Tickets are available, on rehearsal evenings, at £5 for adults and £4 for children and concessions. 

More details are available at the Monastery web site at http://www.themonastery.co.uk/Poynton-Youth-Brass-Band-Concert.html
