Due to the current covid-19 restrictions the band is unable practice or play in public. We are sorry and missing you all terribly. Please follow the link for more infomation on the current restrictions to Non-Professionals engage in singing or playing wind and brass instruments.
If anything changed with the extended measures on Friday 31st July 2020 for Greater Manchester it has had no effect on our situation.
19th August 2020
Further guidelines have been issued Brass Band England and published on 4BarsRest links below. Our situation has not changed.
It states that non-professionals can now engage in brass and wind playing, as well as singing, but in line with the wider guidance. This change will allow groups of up to six players to again rehearse outdoors, or with members of two households playing together inside.
Bands constituted as charities or businesses, or which run venues, may now host larger groups provided they can meet Covid secure guidelines and social distancing requirements.
