We played to open the Christmas Tree Festival at start of December. This time we played in doors due to the weather. We enjoyed the warmth, but were split on whether this improved the atmosphere.

The Blewbury Brass Band has a proud tradition of encouraging people, both young and “older”, to learn a brass instrument.
The band has been a great starting point for a large number of young players. While some continue as a hobby, others have gone on to a career in music. We are also hugely welcoming to adult beginners and to those returning to brass after many years absence (in one case after 46 years!).
Our Learner Band is one way that we can help you (or your child) to “catch the bug” of playing a brass instrument which, in turn, will lead to a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
As well as encouraging and welcoming new players, we also want to sharpen the sword of our more experienced members. We run enjoyable MasterClass weekends with guest conductors to provide another perspective on the band’s performance.
Our Learner Band is designed for complete beginners and for those who already play a brass instrument. With people playing a wide range of brass instruments, this is an excellent introduction to ensemble playing, before moving up into our Main Band. Click here for more details of our Learner Band.
From time to time we run a weekend MasterClass, with a conductor of national standing. Previous memorable weekends were led by Alan Fernie and Derek Broadbent . Click here for more details.
