THE finale to the Shepherd Building Group Brass Band's year will be the Gala Christmas Concert at Joseph Rowntree Theatre, York.

Tickets (£5) can be booked from chairman David Gregg on 01904 652768. This is also the number to ring to order a CD of Aces High, the band's first professional recording for many years, priced at £10. The album of movie themes takes its name from the opening track, the famous Luftwaffe March from the Laurence Olivier film Battle Of Britain. Further highlights are Moon River from Breakfast At Tiffany's; Over The Rainbow, from The Wizard Of Oz; and John Williams's Imperial March, from The Empire Strikes Back.
