We are a brass band representing the City of Bath

New Musical Director

 

Jason Andrews B.A. Hons, ALCM, PGCE (Music)

 

"I am delighted to be appointed as the new musical director of the City of Bath brass band and looking forward to working with an enthusiastic and committed group of musicians. There are clearly so many positives to take from my audition for the role of MD and I’m confident for our shared ambitions.

 

My aim is to develop and nurture, many, if not all of the excellent elements and aspects of ‘brass banding’ that I’ve witnessed and been part of over many years. In addition, it is my intention to share my passion for ‘live’ music-making with the band and foster a positive learning environment that everyone can share in and be truly proud of.

 

Thank you to everyone at City of Bath brass band for making me feel so welcome and giving me such a wonderful opportunity." - Jason Andrews

The band plays at many different events in and around the city, including summer concerts in the local parks and gardens, and performances in local churches and community halls. Please see our events page to find out where we will be performing next.

 

We also compete in national and regional brass band contests and are currently in the third section of the West of England region.

 

We have a training band where members can gain experience of playing in a brass band before moving on into the main band.  The training band is a performing band and plays several events during the year.

 

We are proud to have the Mayor of Bath as Patron of the band and have the privilege of being able to use the complete City of Bath coat of arms as our band crest.

 

We are always looking for new players to join our band.  If you are a beginner or intermediate player and would like to experience playing in a brass band, we have a training band which provides a great introduction to the band. If you have never played before and would like to try playing brass, please enquire about our beginner group. No experience or instruments required.
