Time has been flying again, and we’re off to the Buxton Festival Fringe again very soon. This year’s concert is on Friday 5th July, at our usual venue: the lovely Buxton Methodist Church. It has a perfect acoustic for saxophones, and plenty of room for tea and biscuits. Really, what more could we ask?
Just one thing, really – hope to see you there on Friday 5th!
Tickets will be available on the door, or you can buy them in advance from the Buxton Opera House website, at https://buxtonoperahouse.org.uk/event/summer-saxes.
