Concert of Friendship

On Tues 17th March, 7:30pm, we have the privilege of hosting this event for the town and the mayor - it would be brilliant to have lots of GodFirst people there.

It'll be a fantastic evening of music featuring 3 bands, over 80 musicians, featuring a massed bands finale. Click here for further information and tickets.
