0 Rustom Patel sponsors the Band
We are delighted to announce that Rustom Patel, Lord of the Prebendal Manor of Blewbury, has made a further donation to the band, enabling the band to purchase another instrument for the Blewbury School brass club.
In previous years, Rustom has donated several instruments and made financial donations to the band, and his continued support is hugely appreciated.
0 Father Christmas comes to Blewbury…
The band will be playing carols and other Christmas music on the Playclose in the very heart of Blewbury from 1815, welcoming Father Christmas on his sleigh pulled by a merry team of local elves. If you can’t find the Playclose, just listen for the band and follow your ears (and the crowds)!
If it’s pouring with rain (or if the Playclose is cut off by 10 foot high snow drifts), Father Christmas is quite likely to take cover in the Blewbury Village Hall.

0 Blewbury Village Christmas Concert
The Blewbury Brass Band will be taking part in the Blewbury Village Christmas Concert on Wednesday 17 December at 7.30 PM, in the Blewbury Church.
Rumour has it that the band will turn out a record number of players, and that there will be a percussionist playing for the first time for many years.
The church is packed full every year and, for many, this event signals the start of Christmas celebrations. Truly a most enjoyable evening of carols, readings, song and music.
