Following on from last year’s incredibly memorable event featuring a live-accompanied screening of Raymond Brigg’s ‘The Snowman’ accompanied by the world-renowned Fairey Band, the band is returning this year to put on a similar event featuring a screening of Charles Dickens’s timeless story, ‘A Christmas Carol’, in which Ebenezer Scrooge recants from his mean and penny-pinching ways.

 The KNDS Fairey Band is one of the most successful contesting brass bands in the world. Founded in 1937 by a group of employees at the Fairey Aviation Works in Stockport, the band achieved many musical successes under the brilliant direction of Harry Mortimer, their Musical Director for over thirty years. Since those early days, the band has won every elite band event on the contest calendar, including the National Championships of Great Britain on nine occasions and the British Open an incredible 16 times.
