ONE of the Midlands top brass bands will be performing at the Artrix on Saturday, April 8.

The Langley Band will be performing a mix of contemporary music and classics at the School Drive venue (7.30pm start).

Under the leadership of its musical director, Cliff Parker, the band is once again competing against the top bands in the country having been promoted to the Championship Section - the brass band equivalent to the football Premiership.

Accompanying the Langley Band will be back by Redditch choir Arrow Vale Singers, who are celebrating their 30th year.

Tickets for the concert costs £7.50 per person and are available from the Artrix's box-office on 01527 577330.
