Football fans are set to be treated to a special performance from a local concert band during the build-up to the Euros semi-final between England and the Netherlands tomorrow.
La Ronde Concert Band will be at Howard Davis Park on Wednesday evening playing a programme of classics – including Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond – as islanders head to the big-screen for the football game.
From 19:15 until kick-off at 20:00, the 30-piece ensemble will showcase a programme of classic songs and theme tunes.
