Summary

Welcome the Co-operation Band for a Gala Concert with soloist. It will give a real boost to the community to enjoy one of Europe's top bands. For older attendees it will get them out and about bolstering their confidence, health and wellbeing as they meet others enjoying happy times after covid. We will encourage young people to inspire them to consider learning a musical instrument and the inter-generational aspect is also of the essence giving pride to all.

Location: Prior to WW2 Garnock Valley had brass bands in Beith (3); Dalry (1) and Kilbirnie (2). in 2024 we have none. We want to inspire young people and former players to get back to playing in a brass band, hence this concert is important.
