Stowmarket Concert Band

We're a fabulously friendly brass band based in Stowmarket, Suffolk, England. Founded in 1962 we’re going strong with around 50 musicians over three bands!

So very privileged to have been able to perform when the Queen visited the area in both 1977 and 2002, as well as supporting the local area in Jubilee celebrations across the many years of her reign. Our sincere condolences go to The Royal Family.

A bus load of us visited St Albans yesterday to see the awesome ‘Mnozil Brass’ from Austria. Such ingenious stagecraft and of course fantastic musicians.

Good night last night. Of 14 quiz teams the prize money went to the staff team from the hall - the only team not related to the band... perhaps we’d better stick to music 😆😆. In that case, see you at our concert... https://t.co/mCffXIOEN4
