THE TOWN Band meets every Tuesday at the bandroom on Willow Drive, Chapel-en-le-Frith, from 8pm to 9.30pm.
The junior band, SK23 Brass, meets on Saturdays at the bandroom from 12 noon to 1pm.
In the spring it is hoped to form a beginners' band, Brass Monkeys, who will also meet on Saturdays.
Private tuition on a one-to-one basis takes place through the week.
New players are always welcome – please contact Aidan Howgate on 01298 214459.
The band has a long history in the town, and has recently celebrated its 125th anniversary with a concert at Chapel-en-le-Frith Methodist Church.
Its current aims are to encourage the musical development of its players, with particular emphasis on the junior section; to take part in a regional contest in March 2008; and to raise funds for more instruments and the refurbishment of the bandroom.
