About the band

Brass music without barriers.

We believe a brass band can honour tradition while still surprising an audience.

Our programmes move from well-loved classics to film music, contemporary favourites and adventurous new repertoire. We are a non-contesting community band: progress matters, people matter and every performance should connect with its audience.
