Abbey Brass band spreads festive cheer with free Christmas concerts on the Isle of Wight

The sounds of Christmas will ring out at three Island churches in December thanks to a local brass band.

Abbey Brass will perform Christmas-themed concerts at Newport Salvation Army Church on December 6th at 7.30pm, Wootton Methodist Church on the 17th at 3pm and Binstead Methodist Church on the 20th at 7.30pm.

The concerts will include a mixture of carols and a varied selection of other traditional and more modern festive tunes.

Abbey Brass musical director Phillip Littlemore said,

“There is something special about hearing the sound of a brass band at Christmas.

“We are looking forward to entertaining audiences with some new arrangements of traditional Christmas music together with some familiar festive pieces and carols – there will be something for everyone.”

Admission to all concerts is free, with retiring collections in aid of church and band funds.
