About this event
A free concert to mark the release of a new album celebrating the music of the Durham Miners Gala.
The Durham Miners Association Brass Band will launch their new CD at the event at Elvet Methodist Church, Durham city, on Saturday 21 May.
The album titled ‘The Big Meeting’ is a collection of new recordings of Gala day favourites. The album was crowdfunded during lockdown and recorded at Redhills, Durham Miners Hall.
Organisers have recently confirmed that the Gala will return in 2022 after a two-year absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The band will play a selection from the new album as part of the concert programme. The concert is hosted by the Friends of Durham Miners Gala, with free tickets available first to Marras – those who contribute to the funding of the Gala.
The concert will take place at Elvet Methodist Church, Old Elvet, Durham city on Saturday 21 May. Doors open at 7pm with the concert beginning at 7.30pm.
A small number of parking spaces are available on site for blue badge holders only. On street parking is available on Old Elvet (free after 6pm) or in the university car park on Territorial Lane (no charge on the evening).
