Harworth Brass Band entertained the audience at the Retford Business Forum at a concert to help raise funds for Bassetlaw Hospice and Focus on Young People in Bassetlaw (FOYPiB).

Retford Mayor, Coun Sue Shaw, is an ongoing supporter of the work of FOYPiB and is promoting the charity during her Mayoral Year and Bassetlaw Hospice is Retford Business Forum’s partner charity.

Coun Shaw and Debbie Rawlings, from Bassetlaw Hospice, opened the event which was compered by Steve Walker from Retford Business Forum (RBF).

During the concert Harworth Brass, which was led by Claire Cowan, played The Mission, Rise Like a Phoenix, No Time To Die, Sway, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, Beauty and the Beast, Circle of Life, and they ended with the National Anthem.

RBF is very grateful to Retford Arts Hub and Beer Under the Clock for selling tickets and to the many organisations in and around Retford who were kind enough to exhibit posters.

The next event from Retford Business Forum is the Retford Christmas Market and Lights Switch-On to be held on Sunday, November 27, which will be in partnership with North Notts BID and Bassetlaw District Council, supported by EES Showhire, That Girl Communications, and Retford Lions.
