Brindle Brass BandAt our recent Brass in the Park concert in Southport, the band said goodbye to Jane DeHamel who has been over from Gisborne Civic Brass Band New zealand.
Jane has become our furthest travelled dep we have had so far. As Gisborne is the 1st place in the world to see the Sun rise. So long Jane… it’s been an absolute pleasure having you!
A regular fixture in our calendar, Brindle Band were delighted to take 1st place in the 4th Section at this year’s Blackburn & Darwen contest!
Despite battling torrential rain and high winds, our (outdoor) performance passed the test with our final placing ranking above several bands from the 2nd and 3rd sections.

March: Cornish Cavalier
Next up: we’ll be competing at the Red Admiral March and Hymn Contest in Croston on 29th June — come and support us if you’re nearby!
