Downton Band

Downton Band

Downton Band will be in usual space opposite the Memorial Hall in the middle of the Fair – Yellow Zone.

For more information have a look at their web site http://www.downtonband.org.uk/ or at photos of previous performances.

This year Downton band is celebrating its 150th year and would like to get as many players who have played in the band over the years to come and join us in a special reunion concert on July 9th. If anyone is interested, please email  paul@downtonband.org.uk

All four bands are also looking to recruit musicians – if you are around Grade Five standard and play cornet or tuba the senior band would love to hear from you. Our training band also has vacancies, especially on cornets whilst we are always open to new starters to come along and learn with our Beginners Band. We provide the instrument, music and tuition for just £1 per week. For more information contact paul@downtonband.org.uk

If you like their music then why not come along to their band concert on the Sunday evening – playing in the Downton Memorial Hall.  Click here for details
