The Humberside Police Band is to play two concerts to raise money for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Both of the gigs are taking place at Hull University – which has campuses in Hull and Scarborough – and all of the ticket sales will go to the military charity, the Yorkshire Post reports.<\/p>\n
Now in its 150th year, the group has a tradition of performing shows in order to collect money for good causes and this year is set to be no different.<\/p>\n
Detective Chief Superintendent Richard Kerman, who is the chairman of the band, told the paper they "particularly enjoy the Christmas concerts" because of the festive cheer associated with them.<\/p>\n
"We are sure the community will be thinking about our service personnel in Afghanistan who are separated from their families at Christmas," he added.<\/p>\n
Det Chief Supt Kerman continued by saying that he is confident everyone in the local area will support the charity.<\/p>\n
