The Band of The Brigade of Gurkhas Concert
An Unmissable Evening of Music…
The Army Benevolent Fund’s Norfolk Committee invite you to join us for an evening of outstanding music performed by The Band of The Brigade of Gurkhas at Norwich Cathedral. Having recently relocated to improved facilities at Merville Barracks, Colchester, this will be their FIRST concert in their new home region of East Anglia. We are delighted to host the Band for what will be a truly exceptional evening.
The Band was raised in November 1859 as part of an Indian Army Gurkha Regiment called the Sirmoor Rifle Regiment. It had 16 Bandsmen and one Naik (a leader) and soon became a part of Regimental life, playing for parades, polo matches, dinners and troop entertainment at the Regimental base at Dehra Dun, North East of Dehli. In the early days the Band travelled with the Regiment to other areas of India, Malta, Cyprus and Afghanistan.

The concert will be performed in two halves with an interval halfway through. In the interval a limited selection of wine and soft drinks will be available.
