Service Description

We strive to continuously improve each individual members musical understanding and performance and in turn, the overall standard of the band.

We also accept beginners so if you are interested in learning please contact us. If you want to come but don’t have your own instrument then don’t let that stop you! Come along to a rehearsal and we will try our best to sort you out with an instrument to get you going.
