Douglas Town Band to welcome flugel horn soloist

Helen Williams plays as part of the Cory Band

The Island will welcome a performer regarded as one of the finest flugel horn performers in the banding world this weekend.

Helen Williams will take to the stage with the Douglas Town Band at St Ninian's Church on Saturday (23 November).

She performs in the Cory Band - an internationally renowned brass band.

Ranked the world's number one brass band, for 13 consecutive years, Cory made world history in 2016 by winning all three majors titles: 'Best Brass Band' at British, National and European championships – the banding world's Grand Slam – along with the Brass in Concert Championship title becoming the first band in history to be quadruple champions – simultaneously holding the National, Open, European, and Brass in Concert titles.
