Formby Band.

This week the Formby Band played at the United Reform Church on Saturday, for their annual Christmas Carol Concert.  

The Formby Band has its roots firmly within the local community. Over its 27 year history it has recruited over 300 players and is rightly proud of the achievements of its junior members – including selection for the National Youth Brass Band, university scholarships, musical careers with the armed forces and countless prizes at local and regional music festivals.

New instruments were purchased with national Lottery funding in 1997 and more was granted to commission musical arrangements from Don Lusher [Ted Heath Band] and Patrick Moore [ Sky at Night].

This Christmas the Band is performing at 12 different concert venues this year.

The Band is always on the look out for experienced musicians and anyone interested in joining should contact Tony Jackson on 0151 737 2173. Practices are held every Wednesday evening 8pm – 10pm at the RAFA Club, Victoria Road, Formby. 

Any further queries please ring me on 01704 834643/831561.
Many thanks for your support.
