Brendoncare Nursing Home later commented:

“It was a pleasure to welcome the Phoenix Brass band to Froxfield last night for their annual Christmas concert, playing carols and lots of festive songs. Our residents had the best possible view, watching the band play under our pergola surrounded by lots of twinkly lights that really added to the magic of the music. The residents enjoyed hot chocolate while our guests were treated to mulled wine, soup, mince pies and sausage rolls. As the weather was so mild last night, many of our visitors went into the garden to watch the band and join in with the songs.

Thank you to the band and to everyone who came along and supported one of our favourite nights of the year”.
