Frome Town Band - Brassy Busking

Frome Town Youth Band was originally formed in 1997 to provide an opportunity for young people to learn and perform music in and around the local community. From 2018 onwards it has welcomed all players & beginners of any age, ability or standard, and changed its name to Frome Town Band.

It comprises a beginners training band, intermediate band and a main band, performing a broad repertoire of music that can be booked for any occasion. It is a not-for-profit local community band that regularly plays at concerts, festivals, church services, fairs and fetes, as well as organizing fund-raising and PR events. The musical director is Chris Turner, a composer, music and instrumental teacher with over 20 years’ experience in professional and amateur musical theatre.

And why not go meet the band at 3:30 at XXXX, try the instruments, and make a lot of noise. As part of the Kindness Festival, The Frome Town Band are welcoming you to dust off your instrument, or borrow one of theirs to join in for a big mad brassy busk . If you can blow a raspberry you've already passed lesson one!

Research has clearly shown that playing in brass bands can be beneficial for individual physical, psychological, and social well-being.
