A LEADING brass band has kept up its successful run in major competitions with a third-place finish.

Redbridge Brass placed third at the Mineworker's Open National Brass Band Festival in Skegness.

The band earned a terrific reception with their rendition of Ravel's classic Bolero, which incorporated unusual elements of choreography along with light and smoke effects to lend their performance added drama.

The band also included instruments not normally associated with brass bands, such as electric guitars and keyboards, for a show-stopping rendition of Got To Get You Into My Life.

Fans across Redbridge can see the band performing songs from the competition and much more in concert at the Kenneth More Theatre in Ilford on Sunday (January 31).
