Welbeck Estates Brass 'B' Band - Our goal is to introduce young people and adults to the world of brass bands. To give instruction on the skills of playing a brass or percussion instrument. To learn the rudiments of reading and understanding music and together produce musical performances.

We welcome people from any background and views, as music is for everyone.

This is the home page of the Welbeck Estates B Band

The B band sat in with the main Welbeck Band on Monday 1st March and what a difference they made to the sound. Well done to everyone and keep practicing !

We meet Monday evenings 6.15pm - 7.15pm in the bandroom

Tuition is free and we have a pool of instruments so we should be able to provide you with one to suit you.*

We hope that those of you who already attend will bring any friends along to expand the band and make it YOUR band. Parents are very welcome to stay and we have a drink too.

Anyone else is also welcome as there is individual tuition for new players either adult or junior.

* Instruments are loaned and remain at all times the property of the Welbeck Estates Brass Band.
