FOR many years Holsworthy Town Band has played a vital role in the town, attending numerous public events and ceremonies and putting on excellent concerts for everyone to enjoy, writes Christine Williams.

Now it is seeking to strengthen its numbers by recruiting new players and is inviting people in the town and surrounding area, both young and older, to join, even if they cannot yet play an instrument.

Playing an instrument in a band is an enjoyable and satisfying pastime and those who join Holsworthy Town Band will receive an instrument free of charge, free tuition not to mention a lot of fun and friendship.

On Saturday, February 18, at 2.30pm the band is offering a taster session in the band room, which is situated behind Peter, Peter & Wright’s office in Fore Street. The public is encouraged to come along and find out what they have been missing.

Contact musical director Tony Jones for more details on 07415 428133. Anyone who can already play an instrument is more than welcome to attend.
