World-famous trumpeter performs at Bolton gala

Mike Lovatt, who has appeared on the soundtracks of the Harry Potter films, the Daniel Craig James Bond films and numerous other Hollywood blockbusters, will join Bolton's Eagley Band at their gala reunion concert in October next year.

The Eagley Band, one of the oldest brass bands in the world, will celebrate their 175th anniversary in 2025.

Music director Chris Wormald said: “I was judging with Mike in Evesham a few weeks ago.

“We talked about his schedule and how Eagley will be 175 years old next year.

“Things moved quickly to the point where we have now officially booked Mike to come to Bolton and be the star of our gala reunion concert next autumn.

“We can't wait, booking Mike has already created a real buzz within the band and when next year's announcement is made and tickets go on sale I have no doubt every brass player in the area and film fan will witness want to be at one of these gigs.” the great trumpeters perform 'live' in our city.

“I'm glad we have him.”

Eagley Band will perform their Victoria Hall “From Bing To Bublé” 2024 Christmas Concert on Saturday, December 14 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are just £5 available from the Victoria Hall, Booth's Music Shop or online.
