The British and Irish armies are joining forces to beat the band for Christmas in Northern Ireland.
The Band of the Irish Guards and the Band of the Irish Defence Forces will come together to perform in a special Yuletide concert in Belfast.
It is the first time the Irish Guards band, now based in London, and the Republic's Defence Forces band will have played together in the United Kingdom.
Organisers of the Gala Celebration of Christmas Peace at the Waterfront Hall have thanked the GOC Northern Ireland Lieutenant General Sir Redmund Watt, the Ministry of Defence and Irish Minister of Defence, Willie O'Dea for allowing the bands to make music together.
