GUILDFORD street music lovers are (October, 2012) invited to a bar in the town to hear a street band that performed at the Olympic Park following the closing ceremony of the Paralympics.

The No Limit Street Band will play at Bar des Arts on Tuesday, October 23 from 8pm with proceeds from the event donated to the charity Cadence Drum and Bugle Corps based in Guildford.

Sara Burks, Co-owner of Bar des Arts, which is located opposite the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Millbrook, said: “We are really looking forward to hearing the No Limit Street Band. The band recently played six nights at the Olympic Park, including doing a gig outside the stadium after the closing ceremony of the Paralympics.

“Tickets cost £5 and all ticket sales will be donated to the Cadence Drum and Bugle Corps, which is a registered charity. It is made up of three children’s marching bands based in Guildford. There are 80 members in the band aged from five to 21-years-old. The band provides youngsters with the chance to experience the joy of music and performance and make lifelong friends.

“During the event on October 23 the band, which includes three trumpeters, two trombonists, one tuba player and two percussionists, will play popular hits by Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Jessie J, Bon Jovi and many more.”

Bar des Arts is a café by day and a wine and cocktail bar by night. A range of wine, beers, cocktails and soft drinks are available to purchase, along with tapas. The bar hosts a variety of events and exhibitions, including live music, dance performances, open mic nights and many more.

Sara added: “We hope lots of people will join us for our charity band evening. It promises to be a great night of live music and is for a very worthy cause.”
