A write up from the Brendoncare Facebook:
“Brendoncare Froxfield enjoyed its annual Christmas concert courtesy of our very own village superstars the Phoenix Brass Band.
It was a cold, damp evening but as ever, the band warmed us up with its hour-long concert of festive tunes.
Our residents had front row seats for the concert, while our guests enjoyed soup, mulled wine and mince pies.
The band played under our beautiful new pergola. The link between this and the band is our wonderful Friends of Froxfield, who raised the money for the pergola and made a donation to the band for last night’s performance.
A huge thank you to the Friends for their continued support, also our colleagues and volunteers who helped to make this such a magical night”.
