The Band was out in the Wind and Rain on saturday morning outside Egremont Cooperative. We survived and didn't really get wet. Thanks to everyone who supported us here and everywhere else we've been this Festive Season. See you again in 2025

Our last engagement before Christmas was Brass and Beer
at the Bower House Inn on Friday 20th December Eskdale, Holmrook Cumbria, CA19 1TD. The guests enjoyed our selection of seasonal tunes and Carols. Hope to see them next year.

Our 2024 Christmas concert was a great success. We had a good audience and the Band had 3 soloists this year. We think everyone enjoyed it.

We were out at the Weekend. Saturday we braved the Wind and Rain to entertain the Shoppers in Booths Supermarket Keswick then on Sunday we split the Band and played Carols at Irton Church and St Bees Priory for the Christmas Tree Festival. Thanks to all players who supported us.

We were out on Friday evening to provide Music for the Beckermet Christmas Lights Switch-on. Saturday morning in Egremont (in the rain), then Sunday morning in Whitehaven Morrisons .

the Band was out on Sunday leading the Remembrance Parade to the Egremont Cenotaph

Then followed the Remembrance Day service in St. Mary and Michaels Church. The Band played the Hymns

The Band were out again at the annual Eskdale Show. The weather was not kind but we had a good time under the Marquee. Even big enough for the audience to join us under there.

The Band participated at this years Egremont Crab Fair on Saturday 21st September 2024. We played a selection of music featuring our Training Band. Next we went to the Church Hall where we played some of our favourite pieces.
