TALENTED members of St Helens Youth Brass Band have taken third place in the Tameside Youth Entertainment Festival which took place on Sunday, December 3.

The band, who have been National Youth Band Champions for the last four years, performed a number of popular pieces of music including the theme from TV's Groundforce programme in which they also dressed up as flowers.

And you can see the band repeat their performance at their Christmas Brass Explosion concert which will be held at St Helens Parish Church on Friday, December 15 at 7.30pm. Tickets are £3 (or £2 concessions) and are available to buy on the door.
