A COMPUTER virus has devastated ticket sales for a York brass band’s forthcoming Christmas concert.

The Shepherd Group Brass Band’s annual show is due to take place over two nights this week, but the computer glitch means a huge mailing list of potential customers has been lost.

Half of the tickets remain unsold and band members are now attempting to put the word out that the concerts are still going ahead on Thursday and Friday. The shows take place at The Joseph Rowntree Theatre on Thursday and Friday between 7.30pm and 10pm.
