The concert is on Saturday 3rd July at the Mansfield Civic Centre in the Lindhurst Rooms there. 7pm start. (Tickets are £7 and £6 concessions)
It will involve ourselves, the Natural State Brass Band (from Arkansas, USA) and will feature a guest soloist by the name of Douglas Yeo who is the principal Bass Trombone player with the world famous Boston Symphony Orchestra and Boston Pops Orchestra.
There will also be representation from the charity brass band called "Boobs and Brass", an all female band who do a lot of work raining money (and awareness) for Breast Cancer.
The event has been planned at very short notice as the visitors had been promised a concert elsewhere only to be told it was not happening just last week.
During their short visit, the Americans are giving several performances in the NorthWest of England but our concert in Mansfield is the only one in the Midlands.
The guest soloist, Douglas Yeo, is the Associate Conductor of the American band and is also arguably recognised as the finest exponent of the Bass Trombone in the world so it will be a rare treat for the audience and a fabulous opportunity for Thoresby Band to play with a genuine "legend".
