BROADCASTER Angela Rippon will be hosting this year's Christmas Concert by Tavistock's Stannary Brass Band.

The concert will be on Saturday, December 6 and will take place in Tavistock Town Hall. Special guests are the the Kingsmen Barbershop Harmony Chorus who have performed with the band previously and are a great crowd pleaser.

Stephen Gray, chairman of the band, whose patron is Miss Rippon, said: 'We are looking forward very much to performing in the town hall again, it has been a long time since we last played there. Our guests the Kingsmen are very popular and we are pleased that they are able to join us again. We are looking forward to a fun-filled Christmas concert!"

Tickets are on sale from Ward & Chowen Estate Agents in Tavistock and Yelverton and are £7 and £2 for under 16s. Advance purchase is recommended for this popular event.
