AUDIENCES are set to be transported back in time as Solihull’s symphonic wind band mark its 50th anniversary.

The AD Concert Band are set to present its Spring Celebration Concert on Saturday (March 21) in aid of Age UK Solihull.

From 3pm St Philip’s Church, Manor Road in Dorridge will be filled with a programme showcasing the band’s history, musical talent, and community spirit as musicians past and present come together.

Steve Marlow from AD Concert Band said: “Reaching our 50th anniversary is a huge moment for the band, and we’re delighted to begin the celebrations with our Spring Concert in support of Age UK Solihull.

“It’s a chance to look back on five decades of music-making while raising funds for a cause that means a great deal to the local community.”

All profits from the concert will go to Age UK Solihull, a local charity that provides vital support, advice, and companionship to older people across the borough.




Every ticket sold helps make a real difference in the lives of Solihull’s older residents.

Rebecca Jacob, fundraising manager at Age UK Solihull, said: “We’re so grateful to AD Concert Band for their continued support.


“Their concerts are always a highlight, and the funds raised will help us continue providing vital services to older people in the borough, from befriending and lunch clubs to advice and practical support.

“It’s a wonderful way to enjoy great music and make a real difference locally.”

Adult tickets cost £8 in advance or £10 on the door, with free admission for under 18s.
