‘A Championship Band based in the heart of the Royal Forest of Dean ... Like many community bands Lydbrook has been fortunate to have some great fund raisers on their committee. The hard working non-players have raised many thousands of pounds for band funds over the years. This has enabled the band to build its own bandroom and buy new uniforms and instruments for the senior and training band ... One of Lydbrook Band’s many success stories over the years has been the formation of its Training Band ... No-one is ever turned away and no-one is ever too old to learn. All players are welcome and we will supply an instrument free of charge if you haven’t already got one.’
