In a bid to encourage new and returning players three Durham bands are joining forces with BRASS Durham International Festival to present: 'Come back to Brass!' Did you used to play an instrument with your local brass band but had to quit and always regretted it? Have you always wanted to blast the brass but never had the opportunity? Well here it is! As part of this county-wide programme of events, Craghead Colliery Band, Pittington Brass and Spennymoor Town Band are opening their rehearsal spaces for all ages to join them in making some noise. All bands have a wonderful line-up of activities planned, which are sure to make this a very entertaining event.
