THE HAMMONDS Saltaire Band makes a welcome return to Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre in January.
The award-winning band, one of the country’s premier brass ensembles, will play their now-traditional New Year concerts on Saturday, January 14, at 7.30pm and Sunday, January 15, at 3pm.
One of the most successful competition bands of the last 20 years and among the most innovative, the Hammonds Saltaire Band has roots going back over 160 years to 1855, when a brass band was formed for the people of Saltaire in Bradford.
Under the direction of Morgan Griffiths and making full use of their award-winning soloists they play traditional, classical, popular and show tunes.
The Hammonds Saltaire Band has recorded numerous albums and performed at some of the best concert venues in the world. In recent years the band has contested throughout Europe, enjoying great success winning the European Championship eight times in nine years, the British Open and All England Masters on several occasions and being crowned Yorkshire Champions four times.
Tickets to the Hammonds Saltaire Band concerts, priced from £10 to £24.50, are available from the Box Office on 01723 370541 and online at www.sjt.uk.com.
