We just want to say a massive thank you to all Co-op Members who supported us this year via the Local Community Fund Scheme.

Dave Parkman has been made an Honorary Vice President of the West Somerset Brass Band in recognition of more than half a century of outstanding service.

On Sunday we had the pleasure of entertaining some of the residents of Nether Stowey at a traditional street party to celebrate VE Day. Flags were flying, the sun almost shone and we were under the eagle eye of budding photographer Oliver Arrigoni.

At the band's recent AGM, we were sad to say Goodbye to cornet player and band secretary, Jenny Shelton. Band Chairman Jodie Watson had this tribute to make,

As part of the AGM we are able to celebrate players who have made outstanding contributions both musically and behind the scenes. The Alex Hollweg trophy for the most improved training band member was the first award of the evening.

At the band’s recent AGM we had the opportunity to reflect on a busy and productive 2024, including a full list of engagements and a visit to Watchet’s twin town of St Renan in France.

The final award of the night is the Bandsman of the Year, an award voted for by the members of the band in a blind ballot.

Watchet’s annual Twinning Society Quiz Night saw The Crotchetty Quavers triumph for the second year running.

The event, held on Wednesday, March 12, at Knights Templar School, was an evening of friendly competition and fundraising.

In a world that's constantly evolving, it's essential for organizations to keep pace with the times. Here at West Somerset Brass Band, we're excited to announce a convenient and efficient way for you to support us – our new QR code donation system.
