Lewes Glynde and Beddingham Brass Band
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 6.30-7.30m.
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. In 2006,
we qualified for the third section finals of the National
Brass Band Championships in Harrogate at the first attempt.
We also compete in contests organised by the Southern Counties
Amateur Bands Association. We won the second section contest
in 2004 and came 3rd in Spring 2006.
