The founder of Silk Brass is returning to Macclesfield this festive season.

Ken Mackintosh, who started Silk Brass with his wife Helen, has decided to return to music after a 20-year break.

He will be bringing the once famous Ken's House Party Christmas Concert back to Macclesfield on Friday, December 11.

"After such a long break, I am really excited to rekindle Christmases gone by, when Helen and I used to host the sell-out Christmas party concerts at the Heritage Centre," said Ken.

Following Helen's passing in 2022, their daughter Joanne started to attend the Rossendale Trust, a local charity that supports adults with learning and some physical disabilities.

Last Christmas, a group of players from Rode Hall Silver Band performed carols at the Rossendale Trust and decided that they should go one better and put on a fundraising concert.

So, this year they have teamed up with Ken to put on a Christmas show, with every penny from ticket sales going to the trust.

"The amazing work that the team up there do is nothing short of wonderful," said Ken.
