Brass Band Visit to Norway!
Spring song is a very good start for most of us, whether we are playing yourself, enjoying the brass band music in the audience or preferably both.
During the first half of 2011, we have celebrity guests visiting Norway. On 12.2. Black Dyke plays the gala concert for Championship Brass in the Grieg Hall in Bergen. There has been a big demand for tickets and the concert is sold out. But the next day, Sunday, 13.2., there is an extra gig with Black Dyke, and the place is the Cross Church in Bergen at 1200.
3. April Black Dyke takes the trip to Norway again, this time to Olavshallen in Trondheim in connection with NM Wind (!). Tickets for both concerts are available at Ticket Service.
11. - 19 June adds one of the UK's better Salvation Army brass band on tour in Scandinavia, namely Boscombe Band of The Salvation Army from Bournemouth. The band celebrates this year its 125th anniversary and will be visiting towns including Oslo, Drammen and Trondheim. Check the tour route here. It is, in other words, more opportunities to experience the British brass band in Norway this spring. Black Dyke Band needs no introduction, this world famous band MUST only be with them! Boscombe Band is Steven Mead's "old" band, he plays with them on the CD "Locomotion".
Good luck in the concert halls at selected locations!
