Welcome to Blackwell Concert Band.

The band was formed in 1998 when woodwind were invited into the Blackwell Brass Band to encourage further growth. Since these humble beginnings it has gone on to reach its current strength of around 70 players.

There are a wide range of players in the band of varying experience and calibre. The repertoire includes marches, jazz, calypso, blues, pop, rock, film scores and more.

Each year the band performs at local parks, garden centres, and boating as well as beer festivals. The band have raised to date over £15,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support, as well as helping other charities such as Royal British Legion on a regular basis.
