This is a very special concert. Renato was trained at Berklee Boston but has made in home in London for the last few decades. He held a weekly residency at Ronnie Scotts for over 10 years. He plays with a beautiful colourful tenor sound and his spontaneous selection of material always makes for a exciting concert. Renato leads an amazing group of Italian musicians all living in London. Were very happy to be introducing him and the band to Norden Farm.

As we commence the celebrations for our 140th Anniversary, we have the visit of The International Staff Band of The Salvation Army. They will be giving a concert Saturday 21 February 2026 at 7:00pm. The International Staff Band (ISB) is the flagship brass band of The Salvation Army based in London, UK. The Band was founded officially on 7 October 1891 by Bramwell Booth (then second in command of The Salvation Army) from staff at the international headquarters. They will be conducted by their new Bandmaster, Jonathan Evans, in his very first concert. The band's mission is to spread the message of Christ primarily through music and aims for the highest standards of Salvation Army Christian music-making. They perform concerts, lead worship services, appear on television and radio broadcasts, make recordings, and go on tours both in the UK and internationally. Membership consists of about 30-odd musicians drawn from across the UK and Ireland territory of The Salvation Army. As the premier band of The Salvation Army, the ISB sets a standard for other Salvation Army bands around the world in terms of musical excellence, spiritual purpose and outreach. They help to reshape the image of brass banding: moving from public marches/campaigns to worship, mission and recording projects. In Salvation Army context, bands arent just for concerts: they accompany open-air meetings, corps worship services, territory events and national gatherings. The ISB embodies that by combining high-quality musical performance with a clear Christian message.
