Time soon to go and dress in black, which is the uniform for this evening’s gig with Charnwood Concert Band at St Mary’s Church in East Leake (LE12 6LN). The event kicks off at 7pm but that means I need to arrive somewhat earlier. Tickets are £8 (under 16s free) and there might be some available on the door… but don’t arrive too late as it always seems to be very well attended.

Why black? Probably the best chance for musicians to look somewhat smart! It is going to be a cracking set, with lots of songs we have been working hard on.
