Brass bands to take over Devon for two-day event

The event includes the Massed Bands Concert at 20:30 BST on Saturday

A two-day event for brass bands is set to return to Devon across the weekend.

The event - called Bandamonium - will see 23 bands perform five concerts each in ten different locations across the county.

There will also be the Massed Bands Concert at 20:30 BST on Saturday in Hatherleigh Market, when 23 bands and more than 500 players will play together.

In the 4th year of the festival, organisers are hopeful "hundreds" of people will attend the free show.

Tim Williams, Founder and Chair of Trustees for Bandamonium, said it was a "feel-good weekend of world-class brass".

"Brass just sounds magical here - it's part of our heritage and perfect for playing outdoors across the Devon hills," he said.

"We're expecting hundreds with the sun out, with both brass fans and first-timers coming along."

He added: "It's not every day you get to hear some of the UK's best brass bands without leaving your hometown."

The full line-up will be available on the event's website.
