BRASS BANDS from across County Durham are to join together in memory of a popular band member.
Tim Holmes, 46, was a member of Spennymoor Town Band and had been involved in brass bands in the North-East all of his life.
In May this year, the musician, from Wood View, Spennymoor, died of cancer and as a tribute, a memorial charity concert will be held.
Mr Holmes had also been a sergeant in the Territorial Army and a member of the Royal Signals Territorial Army band.
Secretary of Spennymoor Town Band Hugh Stephenson said: "Representatives of Fishburn, Cockerton Silver and Spennymoor Town Bands got together and decided on a massed bands concert which would also feature the Royal Signals TA band."
It will be held in Spennymoor Town Hall on Friday, October 12, at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £4. They are available from the town hall on (01388) 815276 or any band members
