‘A long-established, active community brass band based in South Cheshire and linked to Winterley Methodist Church in Sandbach ... The Band performs several concerts a year ... It has never received sponsorship nor entered a competition and yet can boast that many players in premier brass bands began their playing career at Winterley. Over the years the repertoire has been expanded, and nowadays includes everything from the music of Lennon and McCartney to the classics, as well as opera and hymns ...To encourage youngsters to gain an interest in music - and brass band music in particular, of course - a trainer band was set up in 2007. Tuition is provided free of charge to anyone wishing to learn.‘
