ABOUT US
Forest of Dean Brass Band is a First Section competing brass band established in the community of Yorkley, Gloucestershire.
We rehearse each Monday and Thursday in our own band hall. 7.45pm to 9.45pm.
We were proud to be in our 30th year in 2024, since the amalgamation of Yorkley Onward Band and Coleford Town Band in 1994. Our band is made up of people of all ages and backgrounds, who share a love of music and a commitment to performing at a high standard.
We perform a variety of music, from classical to contemporary, and are available to play at events and celebrations throughout the Forest of Dean and beyond.
We are passionate about renovating our lovely tin bandroom. Alot of our efforts are trying to raise money to create a building useful to the community.
If you would like to learn more about us, or are interested in joining the band, please get in touch via our Contact Page. We welcome new members of all ages and abilities, and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
