Lewes Glynde and Beddingham Brass Band
May 2012
LGB Brass is an active and popular band based in Lewes, the county town of East Sussex.
We have around 50 members from across East and West Sussex, attracted by the band's friendly atmosphere and high standard of music. There are senior and junior sections, both of which give concerts and take part in competitions. We also have a group of young learners who regularly join the band's junior section.
We have a large and varied repertoire. At our concerts, you will hear traditional marches, music from film and stage, virtuoso solo items and the best from the modern brass repertoire. Many pieces are arranged exclusively for LGB Brass by Nigel Simmons, one of the band's bass players. Click here for details on how to book us for an engagement.
We usually rehearse on Thursday evenings at the All Saints Arts Centre. Friars Walk, Lewes. If you'd like to come along and listen, click here for a map. The junior section rehearsal is from 7pm-8pm. The full band meets from 8pm-10pm. We also offer tuition for young beginners on Monday evenings from 6.30-7.30pm.
LGB Brass is always looking for experienced players. We can offer good-quality instruments. There is also support for players returning to brass music. Click here for details of how to join us.
LGB Brass regularly takes part in competitions. We are 2011 London and Southern Counties 4th Section Champions, Qualifiers for the National Brass Championship Finals 2010 and 2011, and winners of the scaba Entertainment Contest 2011.
