Are you in London on Tuesday 10th December? If so, why not come to The Royal Military Chapel - The Guards' Chapel at 1.10pm and listen to the Brass 10 Piece from the Band of the Welsh Guards. This is our annual and very popular Christmas recital “Music for the Festive Season”.

The Brass 10 Piece Ensemble is an integral part of the Band’s musical output, especially over the Christmas period when they perform a variety of festive music for carol services and concerts.

Their programme includes arrangements of festive favourites with some carols for all so come in good voice and early to get a seat!
