Latest News

The band has begun rehearsing for its programme of concerts in 2020 but sadly will be doing so without the benefit of Roger Jepson’s leadership. After directing the band for a number of years he has decided, with regret, to retire from the post. In his address to members he highlighted the band’s trip to Onzain in 2018 and our success at the Denby Pottery entertainment contest in 2019. We wish him well in 2020 as he enjoys 40th anniversaries in both his family and professional life.

Events

At the beginning of 2020 we can look back on a year full of event with some regular favourites including Kirk Ireton Wakes Week and some new engagements at Brassington and Eyam Carnivals. Also a new venture into contesting – the entertainment contest at Denby Pottery Village on 22nd June. We won 3 prizes!
