We currently run four brass bands at a variety of ability levels. We provide entertainment to local audiences through concerts and open-air events such as summer fetes, as well as occasionally travelling further afield for the Whit Friday march contests, Bandamonium Devon and Bandamonium Yorkshire. We also support local Civic events and lead parades for organisations such as the Army.
The band has raised thousands of pounds for local and national charities over the past 10 years, including Christmas concerts for the benefit of Hornsey Food Bank, St Christopher’s Hospice, Pahal Trust Nepal, Toilet Twinning, Terence Higgins, Noah’s Ark Hospice and Great Ormond Street Hospital. We also raise money via carolling for Hope & Homes for Children, Meningitis Now and The Passage.
We don’t compete in band contests which means we’re not obliged to stick to the standard line-up so all players are welcome whether looking for a new band, returning to playing after a break or in search of an extra rehearsal night.
