RAF on tour

As part of the celebrations marking the United States Air Force 60th Anniversary the Bands of the Royal Air Force, featuring some of the UK’s finest ensemble musicians and soloists, have put together a sparkling and inventive series of concerts, full of jazz, film and classical music. With tunes ranging from the sexy syncopation of the “South Rampart Street Parade” via Henry Wood’s “Sea Shanties” to Streisand’s poignant “Evergreen” the concerts promise to provide an evening of magical entertainment.

The concerts will be compered by either “Coronation Street” star William Roache, who served as a Captain with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, or by ex-RAF pilot and rugby legend Rory Underwood.

 

Conductor: Wing Commander Stuart Stirling

 

Duration of UK tour: October 17 - December 5 (see venue details below)
