The concert, called ‘Ring Out Wild Bells,’ is an evening of Christmas and Epiphany music and includes the world premiere of a new work by Chilcott as well as works by John Rutter, Benjamin Britten and others. Congregations will join in singing the Sussex Carol arranged by David Willcocks.

Bob Chilcott is a former chorister and choral scholar at King’s College, Cambridge and for 12 years, a member of the vocal group, The King’s Singers.

Harriet Creamer, chair of the Friends of Fletching Parish Church said: “Bob Chilcott is one of our most exciting composers. His choral music is glorious to listen to: we’re incredibly lucky that one of his choral works is being premiered in Fletching church.”

Chilcott has been a full-time composer and choral conductor since 1997. Principal guest conductor since 2002 of the BBC Singers in London, he has conducted many other distinguished choirs including The World Youth Choir, The Tower New Zealand Youth Choir and the RIAS Kammerchor in Berlin. He regularly leads singing days for communities and schools in Britain. Over the past twelve years he has conducted and given workshops in 23 countries worldwide.

The professional London choir the Band of Voices will be accompanied by Charlotte Buchanan on the trumpet and Tanya Houghton on the harp.

Proceeds from the concert will go to The Friends of Fletching Parish Church, a charity set up in 1991 to help maintain the imposing 13th century church.

The concert starts at 7.30 pm. Tickets, priced at £12.00 in advance or £15.00 at the door, including a glass of wine and nibbles, are available from Harriet Creamer, tel. 01825 722777 or .

This concert will showcase the new £27,000 lighting system which has just been installed thanks to funding by the Friends.

A TODDLER stole the show when the Hucknall and Linby Mining Community Brass band played their annual Christmas concert at Hucknall Parish Church.

For three-and-a-half-year-old Ella Whyley, wearing an angel costume, joined her mum, Abigail, who is the band’s principal trombone player, on stage for a rendition of ‘Jingle Bells’.

The concert enthralled a good audience with seasonal favourites that included an emotive opening featuring ‘Once In Royal David’s City’, sung unaccompanied by 14-year-old David Clare, who is a principal church chorister and recently performed in Durham Cathedral.

Other highlights were a solo of ‘O Holy Night’ by second euphonium player Chris Knapp and a jazzy performance of ‘Sugar Blues’ by cornet player Ben Armstrong.

During the interval, refreshments were sold in aid of a £150,000 restoration fund to repair crumbling parts of the tower at the historic church on Market Place.

The second half of the concert featured a short performance from members of the band’s youth section, some of whom have only been playing for three months.

In closing the show, the Rev Kathryn Herrod, rector of Hucknall, thanked everyone for their support.

She commented that there was clearly a wealth of talent within the band.

Hucknall and Linby Mining Community Brass were launched in 2008 as the first brass band based in Hucknall for 25 years. They were created from a group of players who left the ranks of the award-winning Newstead Brass organisation.

It was the first country song to be on top of the Mainstream Top 40 chart. Corey Smith may not be one of the most well-known artists out there today, but he is definitely working his way up! Desmond assisted in writing the songs in the groups third album named lippery When Wet? You should definitely try to visit Aspen during the Music Festival. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax have played in various smaller combinations throughout the years. Another thing that you definitely need to do if at all you are really serious about the idea of buying concert tickets online in a safe way, you must make sure that you really check out the website to make sure that it is not crappy. >Shweta Subbiah is an uber woman with a critical style of approach towards places she visits. I feel this may be due to this fact in regard to downloading music. I simply don't understand it all although that's how to stop being disquieted about what pros think. 3. Consistent with their futuristic theme, the dancers came out as robots or in sleek outfits. The furor of this 10 day long program will enthuse a boisterous spirit in you. If you find that the server that you are entering the financial information is one that is not really secure, then you definitely are going to risk your money. At the concert he paired with host Matt Lauer (Today Show), and entertainers including Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kanye West, Mike Myers, and John Goodman.
