Ian and Luke have completed a new commission for the Holmfirth Arts Festival. Entitled 'Sweet Holmfirth Air' it's the festival finale piece and will be performed on 26th June. It has been written for massed brass bands and choirs, and is an uplifting celebration of Holmfirth, its landscape, people and history. If you live in the area you can take part!
