National Concert Band Festival (NCBF), the UK’s largest wind band and big band festival arrives in Glasgow on Sunday 11 January as the last of this season’s Regional Festivals.

This non-competitive festival has already visited Oldham; Eastleigh, Northampton; Croydon; Telford and Cardiff with over 60 bands performing their twenty minute programme to the adjudicators who assess against a particular level of musical achievement rather than make comparisons between bands.

Expect to hear some stunning playing from youth bands to community based bands to university bands all in one afternoon starting at 12:30.

Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

Runtime: 3 hours

Price: £6
