LANCASHIRE Life Morecambe Band will play a varied programme of popular classical music at its traditional Good Friday concert at the Platform in Morecambe.

The show is titled 'Hooked on Classics' and features several solos from within the band including a trombone trio, a horn trio and a special item with all the cornets playing Bach's 'Air on a G String'.

The band, pictured, will be performing with guest conductor Chris Andrews, from Preston, who for 25 years was principle cornet in the Lancashire Constabulary Band and now works as a freelance brass teacher and conductor.

Over the last few years, Lancashire Life Morecambe Band has gone from strength to strength. In 2001 the band was crowned national champions.

This annual concert - on Friday, April 18, at 7.30pm - is always extremely popular and early booking is advised. Tickets cost £5 from the Platform box office on 01524-582803.
