Music
We play a wide range of music, including film scores, musicals, jazz pieces, classical music, and pieces specially composed for wind bands or in exciting arrangements. We have a large library to select from, but also add new music each year. Our concerts usually include a mix of different musical styles to ensure there is something for everyone. There is often a theme for a concert, and in December always includes some favourite Christmas music.
Listen to Us
You can hear us live at one of our concerts, which we usually perform 3 times each year. Our programmes change for each one, You can also find us playing on local or seaside bandstands and at local fetes throughout the summer. Wherever we play, we love to perform to appreciative audiences and are keen to continue to attract regular audience members, and to introduce as many people as we can to live music played by a large, diverse group.
Many people have yet to experience the exciting sounds produced with live concert band music - with over 16 types of wind instrument, plus many different percussion instruments ranging from tiny whistles to huge timpani, the combinations of sounds can be extremely varied, and often surprising! Why not come to one of our concerts to experience it for yourself!
We usually record our formal concerts, and have CDs available for purchase from a few weeks afterwards. If you attended one of our concerts and would like a copy of the CD, or if you missed one and would like to hear how it went, please contact us for details and availability. See our Recordings page for some video clips of us performing.
