Sunday Bandstand 3 December 2023

This is our first show for December and we have a few festive pieces in the programme to start with. As the weeks get nearer to Christmas we will have more festive music. Some of the music may be new to you, hopefully it will become one of your new Christmas favourites. We will of course have many of the familiar melodies and carols we are all used to hearing at Christmas.

Don't forget if you have a favourite carol or piece of Christmas concert music I look forward to hearing from you and we can play it on the show for you and all our listeners to enjoy. You can always contact me through my email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or my website www.chrishelme-brighouse.org.uk...

Enjoy the show...
