Welcome to the new web home of Bristol Concert Wind Band and its associated bands.

Ever fancied being in a band? If you can play a bit already you might fit right into our learners class which started in Sept 2011 - it's never too late to learn, so drop us an email or phone the numbers in the sidebar for details. More advanced players are welcome in our 2nd year class. It's a fun, relaxed class and a great place to learn together and make new friends. If you would like to learn from scratch we will be starting a new complete beginners class in September. More info
