+ Bristol East & Kingswood Brass Band

‘The Band is a totally self-supporting registered charity and continues to support other charities such as the Bristol Children's Hospital, St Peter's Hospice, Dogs for the Blind and the Jessie May Trust to name a few. Band members come from all walks of life. Many are students, often having started in the Band's own training programme and Number 2 band. Frequently they move on to other bands around the country as they progress in their careers. Of course this also means there is always a welcome for players moving into the area.‘
