ANYONE thinking of taking up a brass instrument is being encouraged to go along to an open evening to be held this month by Liskeard Silver Band.

Tuition, music, a uniform and the loan of an instrument are all provided free of charge to members of the band, and people of all ages are welcome.

The open evening will be a chance to speak to players and find out more with no obligation and will take place on Wednesday, January 24, from 6.30pm at the Salvation Army Hall, Liskeard.
