TYLDESLEY brass banders should be forgiven for blowing their own trumpets!
The Classic Racing Tyldesley Band have reached the final of the National Brass Band Championships after a wait of 40 years.
Conducted by Darrol Barry, the band finished second in the North West Regional Championships at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
Further local contests have been entered, including an entertainment contest which will be recorded and broadcast on GMR Radio later this year.
The band is anxious to increase its concert engagements. Any church or organisation wanting to book the band should ring Graham Wilkinson on 01942 887256 or Graham Walker on 01942 875901.
New players of all abilities are welcome. Anyone interested should ring Graham Walker.
