MALMESBURY Concert Band will be playing twice in the run-up to Christmas, with performances in Brinkworth and Malmesbury.

On Friday, December 15, the band will be playing a selection of Christmas favourites and carols in St Michael & All Angels Church, Brinkworth, from 6.30-7.30pm.

The following day, Saturday, December 16, the band will be playing carols in the Market Cross, Malmesbury, from 11am-12pm.

MCB's musical director, Tony Fleming, said: “The band always enjoys playing all these Christmas favourites and we hope that many local residents will come and enjoy them at either or both of these events. 

"This year, the band will be under the able direction of its deputy conductor, Art Robb.”
