Hiring the Band
We can add life, colour and sound to your special event. Be it a town festival, village fete, Bandstand gig, corporate event, garden party, wedding – name it, we can enhance it.
We vary in size from Small (Quintet) through Medium (10-piece Ensemble) to Large (Full British Brass of around 25 players). And, as all of our players are volunteers, our fees are quite reasonable, depending on the scale of your event and our performance duration etc.
We try to honour a certain number of gigs a year, so do book early!
You can contact the band secretary at patchamsilverband@live.co.uk to discuss booking us, or use the form on the Contact page.
Joining the Band
We are always ready to welcome players of any brass band instrument to both our youth and senior bands. In particular, the Senior band has vacancies on Bb Cornet and Eb/Bb Bass, but players of other instruments are welcome too.
If you are an experienced player, returning to your instrument or a complete beginner, you will find playing with us a rewarding experience, both musically and socially.
We rehearse in Patcham on Friday evenings and we can supply new members with an instrument, uniform and music. Patcham is located on the outskirts of Brighton, East Sussex and is easily reached from the A23.
If you are interested in joining the band email patchamsilverband@live.co.uk, or use the form on the Contact page.
