PENISTONE and Stocksbridge MP Marie Tidball watched a performance from Thurlstone Brass Band recently.

Held at The Crystal Palace pub, Marie said it was a ‘really magical evening’.

She added: “The place was packed, with such a great atmosphere. It was lovely to bump into Bob and Sandra Eastwood too. Mrs Eastwood was an amazing music teacher at St John’s with the highlight being when she coordinated Wind in the Willows – so I’ll forever be ‘Moley’ to them, as well as their MP.”
