A Brass Band Festival of entertaining music to delight not only the audience but the bands alike.
Apr 25 Update: The SWBBA Committee are extremely disappointed in having to cancel this event due to lack of entries. With only two bands signed up, the event is simply not viable. Thank you to the bands who did enter.
We will now be concentrating on the Annual Championships (to be held on 1st November) and are optimistic this will attract a better entry.
Entries are now open for SWBBA’s 1st “Entertaining Brass” – a Brass Band Festival of entertaining music to delight not only the audience but the bands alike.
The festival will be held on 12th July 2024 at the Upton Vale Church, Torquay, promoted and organised by the South West Brass Band Association.
There will be a maximum entry of 15 bands from South West with over 500 band players and supporters descending on Torquay for the day. Each band will perform a 25-minute own choice entertainment program to a full auditorium.
The day will start at 10am, meaning over 7 hours of continuous music.
