The sell out Christmas hit returns for a fourth consecutive year.
Join one of the world’s greatest brass bands, Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band, for another evening of festive favourites in the magnificent surroundings of Selby Abbey.
The story of Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band can be traced back to humble beginnings in 1884 as the South Elmsall Village Brass Band, from which it has developed a rich musical history.
In 1905, the band was adopted by the local Frickley Colliery, which in turn was to become owned by the Carlton Main Coal Company and by 1923 the band became known by its present name. During the band’s long and successful history, it has both competed and triumphed at many of the most prestigious competitions in the world. Most notably, in the UK the band has held the titles of National Champions, British Open Champions, Granada TV Band of the Year, BBC Best of Brass Champions, Spring Festival Grand Shield Champions, British Open Quartet Champions as well as wins in Europe at the European Championships in 1975 in Leest, Belgium, under conductor Robert Oughton.
The band’s more recent contest achievements include qualifying for the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at the Royal Albert Hall in 2024 where it was placed 7th. The band was previously crowned Yorkshire Champions in 2013 and 2015. 2024 saw the band re-qualify for the most prestigious of contests, The British Open in Symphony Hall, Birmingham where it went on to give the world premiere of Jan Van Der Roost’s test-piece ‘The Lost Circle’ and was rewarded with a well-deserved Top 10 placing!
There will be short interval. A licensed bar will be available. Payment can be made by cash or card
