Welcome to the new web home of Bristol Concert Wind Band and its associated bands.
Our new learners class is starting now - Sept 2011 - it's never too late to learn, so drop us an email or phone the numbers in the sidebar for details. Complete beginners can join our 1st year class, more advanced players are welcome in our 2nd year class. We teach from scratch, so you don't need to be able to read music, we even have some instruments for loan. It's a fun, relaxed class and a great place to learn together and make new friends.More info
