Pershore Online Festival
The Pershore Midsummer Brass Festival has announced it will be a virtual event again this year due to the ongoing Covid restrictions. The virtual Festival was a great success in 2020 and supporters will once again be able to watch the 2021 performances free of charge via YouTube. The opening fanfare will be heard at 10.00am on Saturday 3rd July by players from Langley Band, with the 18 performances posted at regular intervals throughout the day. They will remain available to enjoy until 10.00pm on Sunday 4th July.
A spokesperson for the event commented, "There will be some new material that was not shown last year. However, Covid restrictions have meant it has not been possible for many brass bands to practice so new material may involve some ingenuity. The committee are organising a live Pershore Midsummer Brass for 2022, with the hope that things will be back to normal by then. If anyone is interested in helping, please do get in touch. No brass band experience required, just a tuba case full of enthusiasm!"
