The Black Dyke Band returns to St. Chad’s Church – Cancelled

Director of Shropshire Music Trust, Kate Hogwood said: “Recognized for almost a century and a half as the world’s most famous brass band, no other ensemble in the world of music can boast such a record of innovation and success as Black Dyke. They have a staggeringly wide and eclectic range covering the whole musical spectrum, producing an abundance of famous instrumentalists and appearing with a huge cross-section of distinguished musicians from Lesley Garrett to Paul McCartney and Elton John as well as the top classical names. Their present Director, Dr Nicholas Childes with Associate Composer, the distinguished Philip Wilby follows in this legendary tradition of top contest successes, innovative concerts and world premieres, and an ever diverse variety of soloists and musical combinations. Why not look at booking this concert in with a Season Saver offer.”

Kate Hogwood continued: “Seventeen times winners of the National Champions of the Brass Band League they have also regularly ‘broken the mould’ with over 120 recordings and accolades as diverse as winner of the ‘Crossover Classical Section’ in the Grammy Awards with Evelyn Glennie, to their backing of the Beatles hit record ‘Yellow Submarine’ years ago, taking in along the way the likes of the Music Industries Association Award for Best CD/Orchestral Section with their recording of Sir William Walton’s music.”
