Our venues range from summer fetes, park bandstands and galas to weddings. We also perform in more formal concerts and have good links with the local community.We also may be able to provide free tuition for anyone wishing to learn to play a brass instrument (See B Band Link).

We have an excellent reputation for performing at a high standard.

There are still some vacancies for the main band and old or new musicians will always be welcome. Visit the Meet The Band page for photo's of the band or check out our gallery pictures.

 

The band receives some support from The Harley Foundation but mostly we rely on the fees we receive from our performances. If you would like to sponsor the band or make a donation please email our secretary here.
