On Saturday evening, 7 March at 6:30pm, Petersfield Salvation Army celebrate their 140 years in the town with a special concert of several brass bands, attended by their national Leader, Commissioner Paul Main (who will also lead their regular Sunday Worship the following day at 11.00 am.)

One of the songs they will perform at the concert is Light Fingered Freddie, from a musical, not dissimilar to Guys and Dolls.

Andrew Clark is a trombone player and semi-professional musician and will sing the song on the night.

Mike Waddington attended the band's first practice session (the bands are rehearsing separately) and speaks to Andrew about the song and the ideas behind it.

He says there are other surprises up their sleeves!

Tickets for the concert at Petersfield Methodist Church are now on sale: please call 01730 265971.
