JUBILEE CONCERT!
Wadhurst Brass Band are very excited to be celebrating 65 Years with Algy Hoare BEM on Saturday 9th July, in the Wadhurst Commemoration Hall at 7:30pm.
Algy is the founder of the band, as it is today. This stems from when he was a Woodwork Teacher at Uplands Community Centre, where he taught a handful of students how to play various instruments. Some of those players are still in the band today! WBB are very grateful for all his hard work over the years.
We hope you're able to join us for this wonderful occasion. This is certainly a concert you don't want to miss! Tickets will go on sale shortly, so keep your eyes peeled.
SPRING CONCERT
On Saturday 30th April 2022, Wadhurst Brass Band held their Spring Concert in the Commemoration Hall, in Wadhurst. This was our 2nd concert since Covid and we loved every minute of it! We would like to thank everyone who came and supported us, we are thrilled to be back performing again and we hope you enjoyed it just as much as we did.
Special thanks goes to Denise Beedell for her continued hard work behind the scenes, Merlin Beedell for the lighting and photography and the WBB Committee for organising another successful concert.
WEDDING CELEBRATIONS!
On the 5th September 2020, band members Suzanne Healy and Bennet Smith got married in between the 1st and 2nd lockdown. Finally, on Saturday 2nd April 2022, they were able to celebrate their marriage with us and their friends and family who were unable to attend in 2020 due to the Covid restrictions.
It was an absolute privilege to celebrate the marriage of our dear "Drum and Bass" duo. Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day!
CHRISTMAS 2021
WBB had a busy carolling season over the Christmas period and a very successful concert on the 4th December. Thank you to all those who were able to attend and supported us by following the guidelines that were put in place.
We were very fortunate to be able too spread some Christmas cheer after another challenging year. Here's to more banding in 2022!
