Our Music
The music the band plays varies from concert to concert, but mainly consists of a mixture of light, dance/swing, classical and popular music. Brass band is usually specially arranged to suit the style and instruments of a band.
The band has a library of over 1,000 pieces, however below is a list of the music we have play currently or have done over the last few years. Often the band is requested to play music for specific events; fortunately we have an in-house arranger who can arrange any music for band if required or not already published.
