The band thoroughly enjoyed themselves yesterday evening at Christchurch in Coleford. Alongside Drybrook & District Ladies Choir and Drybrook and District Male Voice Choir, we performed for a fantastically warm and appreciative audience. Thanks to everyone who came and made the evening so rewarding. We look forward to next time!

As we approach the 2025 National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, we want to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to our fantastic insurance partners, Newmoon Insurance.

We have been insuring with Newmoon for several years, and they have always been a joy to work with, but they have been absolutely wonderful in our year as 2024 National Champions in helping make it possible for us to take the incredible trophy on the road with us, from concerts in Cheltenham, to Ripon, to Suffolk and many more.

We would highly recommend Newmoon Insurance to all bands and musicians, and if you or your band are interested in finding out more, they can be contacted at the details below.
