THE ever-popular Bands in the Park season is nearly upon us again.

The series of concerts in Priory Park, sponsored by Malvern Town Council, resumes next Sunday (May 24), with a performance from local favourites, the Malvern Hills District Brass Band.

And that is followed by the return by popular request of the Lydbrook band on Sunday, May 31, which will perform the special Elgar concert it played to great acclaim in the summer of 2007.

The season continues every Sunday through the summer with the Band of Gloucestershire Constabulary, Malvern Chase Brass Band, Worcester Concert Brass Band and many more.

And the season ends on a high note with the Lancashire Fusiliers Band on September 13.

The concerts take place each Sunday afternoon at 2.30pm. For a full listing, contact Lyndsey Davies at Malvern Town Council on 01684 566667 or ldavies@malvern-tc.org.uk.
