Events
The band tends to have 2 busy periods each year: mid-Summer where school and village fetes are in full swing, and from November (rememberence day parade) running-up to Christmas. Consequently, Spring and late Summer / early Autumn tend to be quiet periods with the band practicing for the next burst of events.
As events get booked, they will be shown below
