BIG band music lovers are in for a treat on Saturday July 30, when the Dave Hankin Big Band will perform a broad repertoire from the fastest swingers to the slowest ballads in the Great Barn at Buckland Abbey.

The National Trust's Great Barn is an ideal place for Dave Hankin, one of the top names in big band music, to provide a concert which will include music from Glenn Miller in the 1940s to the cutting edge compositions of today.

All proceeds will go to the NSPCC for local services to children and their families.

The event will take place from 7.30pm to 10pm. Tickets, £12.50, are available by contacting Sam Doel on 01822 853696 or Fiona Spreadbury on 01822853542.

Pre-show suppers are available from the National Trust on 01822 853607.
