2025 off to even better start
Further on and further up
2025 has seen us get off to an even more promising start. With more new faces joining the band Saturday morning rehearsals in Whittle Methodist Church sound better than ever, with a lot of new pieces now in the repertoire. Our conductor Alaistair, working us hard as always.
It has been a busy 12 months, so the website has not been updated in a while, with some members of the band moving out of the area. At our AGM in April new committee members were elected, so please bear with us whilst we get the site updated and add new events and members to the Calendar and update the vacancies. Bookings are coming in for events throughout the year so do come along to see us if you can.
If you or anyone you know, would like to book or join the band, or have some tuition, please come along to a rehearsal or get in touch.
2024 off to a good start
Onwards and upwards

Jonathan is a fully deserving recipient and should be very proud that the members quite clearly voted for him.
