Musical Director/Conductor Frome Town Band

Frome Town Band is a charity organisation. It is run by a committee who are all playing members and is governed by its trustees. We are a friendly community band, with an active gig calendar and in excess of 50 members. Our rolling programme welcomes people from complete beginner to pro, to be part of the band through three groups – beginners, intermediates and main band. We also run an active and successful outreach project, which reaches directly into schools to enthuse youngsters to enter the world of brass from an early age. In the band’s history many members have gone on to become successful musicians, including (but not limited to) 2 recent members who went on to the Royal Academy and won awards at the Royal College of Music.
The band is funded predominantly by its members at just £12 per month, making this an accessible activity to everyone. Band practice takes place in Frome on Wednesday evenings throughout the year.
