Adam Hutchins, director of New Mills Band, added: “This is going to be a very poignant, meaningful and memorable event for all the players because 100 years ago, our band went off to serve King and Country. Some of those lads didn’t return home.”

Doors open at 6.15pm and refreshments will be served both prior to the concert and during the interval. A special souvenir programme will be sold on the night.

Tickets, priced £5, are available at www.ticketsource.co.uk/tributetoheroes or by calling David on 01663 742480.

All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
