The concert will feature Thomas Nielsen, the winner of the BBCRadio2 Young Brass Award, renowned mezzo-soprano Susanne Dymott, and the Croydon Citadel Band - The Salvation Army. We will all be supporting Veterans Aid, one of the country?s leading military charities, who care for Veterans in crisis.

For many years the Band of the Coldstream Guards has had close links to Croydon Citadel Salvation Army, some of our former and current members have come from within its ranks. The Band was formed in 1883 and has supported the local community in Croydon, United Kingdom for over 135 years.

Veterans Aid?s activities revolve around helping ex-servicemen and women in crisis. Specifically it deals with all the factors that contribute to crisis ? significantly those leading to homelessness. Because homelessness is both a cause and effect, VA?s activities are diverse. The endgame is always to enable sustainable, independent living, but the interventions necessary to achieve this can involve days, weeks, months ? or even years of investment.

As you can imagine, this concert is going to be a spectacular celebration of the most important of English days.
