Sunday Bandstand 10 March 2024

The Mount Charles Band are featured on today's show. Here they are playing at what is one of the best open air theatres in the UK, if not in the world. The Minack Theatre (Cornish: Gwariva Veynek) is an open-air theatre, constructed above a gully with a rocky granite outcrop jutting into the sea. The theatre is at Porthcurno, four miles (6.4 km) from Land's End in Cornwall, England.

The Minack's performing season runs from Easter to the end of October and includes a wide range of music and theatre. Each year, the Minack produces several professional productions as well as hosting visiting companies. It has appeared in many lists of the world's most spectacular theatres and for the 750 seats when filled it must be a fabulous venue for a brass band concert.
