Drop-In and PAYG Community Band
for Returning or Improving Musicians

Develop your broader musicianship skills through band experience. Use our instruments or bring your own!

Feel Good Lunchtimes!

This educational band setting is perfect for returning or early-stage musicians who want more practical experience beyond their individual practice time. We are participant led, and love exploring your song requests as an opportunity for learners to try out different styles and genres, and to ensure we are working on the music that matters to you.

We are a rehearsal band. While we do not offer traditional concert/gig style performance opportunities, we do run public facing open workshops a couple of times a year, where we invite the public to join us for joyful and supportive hands-on music making using instruments we provide.

This community band is open to all ages, including people under 18, by special arrangement with parents/care givers. The parent/care giver of anyone under 18 MUST contact us to discuss chaperoning and safeguarding arrangements before attending.
