AN afternoon of festive music and rousing tunes from Pendeen Silver Band is taking place at the Minack Theatre to help get the audience in the mood for Christmas on Sunday, December 15.

The most westerly brass band in the UK, Pendeen Silver Band take pride in the fact that they are a true ‘village’ band, receiving from and giving constant support to their local community. Formed in 1892, they’ve played for village events, for well over a century.

In recent decades they’ve performed for the late Queen at Geevor Tin Mine, the dedication of the Sennen lifeboat and at London marches in support of Cornish hospitals and mines. They also received the Cornish Gorsedd Award in recognition of their success in local and national competitions.

The Senior Band practices at their purpose built bandroom in Pendeen.
