LGB
Brass, based in Lewes, is rehearsing
hard for its biggest concert of the
season. The regular Proms in
the Paddock, held this year on
Saturday July 12th,
attracts an audience of more than
1,000 local people.
The
event, held in the paddock park in
Lewes, was developed by LGB Brass
and the local Commercial Square
Bonfire Society and is now in its
sixth year. This year the band
is delighted to be joined by singers
from East Sussex Community Choir,
also based in Lewes.
The
programme includes two concerts –
one by LGB Brass of popular numbers
from film and stage and one by East
Sussex Community Choir. The
two groups of musicians then come
together for the popular Proms part
of the evening, for traditional
favourites including Land of Hope
and Glory, Jerusalem and
Sussex by the Sea. The
evening ends with the 1812 Overture
played by LGB Brass with fireworks
from Commercial Square Bonfire
Society.
LGB
Brass secretary, Jane Waldron, said:
“Proms in the Paddock is one of the
highlights of our calendar. It is a
great opportunity to introduce a
huge audience to the great sound of
high quality brass band music.”
Gates

about 7.30pm. There will be a
bar and barbecue. Tickets are
£5 (£2.50 children) in advance from
Harveys Shop, Richards Butchers, Con
Club, Elephant & Castle, Gardners
