A BRASS band is preparing to mark its 21st anniversary, with a special concert in Reading on Saturday.

The group, Ascot Brass, will be teaming up with Tamesis Chamber Choir for the evening of music.

It will feature some of the best brass band music from stage and screen, some solo numbers from band members, and much-loved classic and popular music from Tamesis.

The band’s musical director, David Rudd, said: “Ascot Brass is proud to have reached the ripe old age of 21, and we’ll be delighted to see old friends and new at our 21st birthday celebration.

“The band has been preparing for – and looking forward to – this event for a long time, and we hope you enjoy a programme in which we aim to present a cross-section of music for which the band has become known.

“We hope there’s something enjoyable and entertaining for everyone; great marches, beautiful tunes, exciting solos played by talented soloists, easy listening, and even a brass band epic. So, sit back and enjoy, and don’t forget to check out the dates of future Ascot Brass concerts.”
