March 12th, 2024Creswick Brass Band to perform at Book Town

The award-winning Creswick Brass Band is headed to Clunes later this month to perform as part of the annual Book Town Festival.

The band is a community outfit made up of local residents with members aged from eight to 80.

It has gained a reputation for being “the happy band of the Central Highlands” whose members love to perform at local events with the annual Book Town festival among their favourites.

Members say the band is also happy to give lessons to anyone willing to learn.

They’ll be playing at the Clunes rotunda from 2.30 to 5.15pm on Saturday March 23 as part of the free community entertainment that will be on offer as part of the festival that’s celebrating its 18th year and takes place over March 23-24.

Featured guests who will be appearing in discussion during the festival include Helen Garner, Jane Clifton, Wayne Macauley, Jacinta Parsons, Alice Pung and Nicole Chvastek.
