BERWICK CONCERT BAND: berwickconcertband.wixsite.com/information
Berwick Concert band was established in 1993. We play at events and concerts in the Scottish borders and North Northumberland. The band are a friendly and welcoming bunch and are always looking for new members. The band rehearse on a Monday at Longridge Towers School Rehearsals are from 7:30 - 9:30.
?We are keen to welcome new members. The music we play is around the grade 5 standard and is varied and interesting. Please do contact us if you would like to come along. If you are rusty or are currently below grade 5 standard don't be put off as parts can be adapted to suit you. Several Andante members also play in Berwick Concert Band - John - Clarinet, Lynn - Flute, Margaret - Bassoon and Ian on French Horn and also play with the band below.

NORTHUMBERLAND & BORDERS CONCERT BAND: nbcb.co.uk/
Northumberland and Borders Concert Band was formed in 2022 by Nick Elwood and developed from the Kaizen Occasional Concert Band, formed in 2019. One week after our inaugural concert in March 2020, Covid 19 terminated our activities. We are an ‘occasional' concert band which means we do not rehearse regularly but come together for specific concerts. Despite the pressures of limited rehearsal times and challenging music, playing under Nick's guidance is both rewarding and enjoyable. While our programmes are diverse, we are particularly interested in exploring modern concert band music as well as staging some of the classic repertoires. We aim to promote music and to facilitate opportunities for musicians and audiences to come together. If you play a wind instrument and are of a good standard, grades 7- 8, (or thereabouts) why not add your fire to ours and enhance both our membership and our collective and individual potential.
