Harrogate Hospital charity has raised £2.4m to help patients in its 60 year history
Harrogate’s only championship brass band is to perform in concert to mark the 60th anniversary of the notable charity Friends of Harrogate Hospital.
If the occasion required a special act, Tewit Silver Band fit the bill.
Founded in 2017 to provide advancement opportunities for Tewit Youth Band, the outfit has developed from Fourth to Championship section in just six years.
The majority of the members are homegrown and play a wide range of popular, classic and brass band music
It’s a fantastic pedigree to lay claim to but the achievements of the Friends of Harrogate Hospital are just as impressive .
A volunteer-led charity with no paid staff or overheads, the Friends’ fundraising efforts to provide equipment or facilities for Harrogate District Hospital and local outreach services has raised a phenomenal £2.4 million over the decades and purchased thousands of items to enhance patient experience.
The coming together of these two superb community groups will result in a special charity concert kindly organised by Tewit Silver Band at 7.30pm on Friday, February 13 on the big stage at Harrogate Theatre.
Expect a vibrant programme of classics, popular favourites and brass-band greats, performed by exceptional home-grown talent.
The concert will also celebrate the donation of a complete set of top Besson Instruments, valued at £145,000.
Besson, founded in 1837, are sponsoring the evening’s guest performer, world famous cornet virtuoso Roger Webster.
Tickets are available from Harrogate Theatre booking office in person or by phoning 01423 502116.
