Newport Music Club strikes a chord with 50th Anniversary Season
Calling all Brass Band aficionados - Newport Music Club are delighted that Jackfield Brass Band are playing at our summer afternoon outdoor concert on Sunday, 31 August at Edgmond Village Hall fields at 3pm. Settle back in the sunshine and enjoy listening to this award-winning local band.
Jackfield Band originated as a Fife and Drum Band in 1893 and two years later converted to the more fashionable Brass Band. From 1901 onwards they started winning prizes, and bought a new set of silver-plated instruments; this time it was renamed as Jackfield Prize Silver Band. And they have continued to impress. In recent years they have represented the Midlands at national events, and also won many competitions along the way. Indeed they are Shropshire’s very own First Section Brass Band. See their website jackfieldband.org.uk.
Tickets are £15 for adults and £5 for children and students. Cash only please. They are available from ‘Bobby’s’ cafe in Newport, or at the field on the day.
Remember to bring your folding chairs or picnic blanket - and picnic if you wish. There will be a bar serving hot and cold drinks (alcoholic and non- alcoholic). Do not worry about the weather - if the forecast is looking wet, the concert will take place in the Hall.
