Boarshurst Silver Band, 22 December 2019: Here’s How Christmas Concerts Should Be Done

A meaty programme and a pantomime: two hours of fun for all the family

For some people, Christmas isn’t Christmas till a big man with a long white beard heads their way. The soundtrack to their Christmas might include Mariah Carey or Peter Graham as well as traditional favourites like Jingle Bells and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. In many cases a brass band completes the picture, maybe a pantomime.
