NEWCASTLE VICTORY BAND

TOWN HALL MONDAY. Apart fromi their remarkable achievements during a twelve months tour of England and South Africa, musical enthusiasts and bandsmen throughout the Dominion are eagerly awaiting the advent of the Newcastle Steel Works Band, and on Monday and also Tuesday ihis now famous organisation will be heard at the Town Hall, and on the following nights of the week at a new location, as the Town Hall dates preclude the band continuing after Tuesday night. Fresh from overwhelming successes in Melbourne and "Tasmania theße much travelled players are making a brief tour of New Zealand before de scending upon their native State, where, as in all other parts of the Commonwealth visited since their return from England, flattering welcomes have greeted the victorious bandsmen and their brilliant conductor, Mr A. H. Bade. That the Newcastle Band deserves all that has been cabled and written in the last twelve months can be readily realised when it is considered that the spectncular musical pilgrimage, just concluding, was undertaken by these courageous bandsmen without the aid of their Government or the public of New South Wales, so that apart from the winning of two or three British Brass Band Championships in England last year, Wellington residents will na-, t,orally centre interest in the sister nation band, ' The box plans for the Town Hall concerts on Monday and Tuesday are at the Bristol Piano Company.
