The Rifles band is to play a special concert at Winchester Cathedral to raise money for the Care for Casualties Appeal.<\/p>\n
It will take place on March 29th and there will be a mixture of regimental music and more modern material played, while special guests will include the Duke of Gloucester and the Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire Dame Mary Fagan, the Hampshire Chronicle reports.<\/p>\n
Barry Lipscomb, who is the mayor of Winchester, has chosen the good cause as one of his official charities.<\/p>\n
"Military music is a particular favourite of mine and this concert definitely feels like one of the highlights of my mayoral year," he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Lipscomb continued by saying those who turn up at the event can expect to see a "magnificent evening of entertainment".<\/p>\n
Since the Rifles were formed in 2007, they have been located in Winchester and members have seen action in both Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
