The Femmes Fortissimo concert for York International Women’s Week planned for tomorrow night has been postponed due to the bad weather.

The all-women brass band concert, which was planned at Southlands Methodist Church on Saturday March 3 at 7.30pm, will now take place on Saturday April 28 instead, at the same venue.

Organiser Kate Lock said: “It’s a disappointment for us, but with players from ten brass bands across North and East Yorkshire taking part, some of them were facing very difficult travelling conditions. It would have meant putting them at risk, or playing with a significantly reduced band and neither of those were acceptable.

“We hope the longer lead time means we can make the concert even bigger and better. In the meantime, if there are any women brass players who would like to join us, there’s now another opportunity to do so!”
