Stowmarket Concert Band
SUFFOLK BASED BRASS BAND
Despite the name, we are a traditional brass band who perform in and around Suffolk (and beyond!).
As a registered charity we are committed to promoting the musical education of young people and support this through our training band, and our musical activity which funds the ongoing costs of music, instruments and their upkeep and general running costs.
​
We pride ourselves on our friendly and inclusive atmosphere and our main aim is for everyone to enjoy what they do with us, be it rehearsals, concerts or social events!
