Inspired by our friend and her commitment to getting the word out regarding breast cancer awareness, the K&N Brass Band are organising a concert in support of the McGrath Foundation entitled “Dreaming of a Pink Christmas”, to be held in Adelaide on the afternoon of Sunday 7th December 2014, from 2pm. Although the event is being organised by K&N, the band performing will be no ordinary brass band: “South Australian Brass Knockers” is SA’s first all-female band, formed specifically for this event, with ladies from a number of South Australian bands donating their time and talent to this worthy cause. The venue for the concert will be the Grainger Studio (home of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra), Hindley Street, Adelaide.
In June 2014 Vivienne Little, Kensington & Norwood Brass Band Committee Member, concert compere and wife of one of our players, was diagnosed with breast cancer at only 46 years of age. After a left mastectomy and further testing, the long-term prognosis is very positive; although some years of hormone therapy and monitoring are necessary, there is no immediate requirement for radio- or chemotherapy. There is no doubt that the early detection of the cancer has played a vital role in such an encouraging outcome.
