Where there was muck there's brass

Brass bands from across the region will compete in the second Kiveton Park Brass Band Festival on Sunday, to be held at the site of the former Kiveton Colliery. The Forestry Commission is hosting the contest in the 53-hectare wood which was created on the site of the former pit after it closed in 1994.
Besides Thurcroft, bands taking part include the Clifton and Lightcliffe band from Brighouse, Crofton Silver Band from Wakefield and brass bands from Oughtibridge, Deepcar, Thurlston and Dronfield.
