Llangollen Eisteddford July 2024
What a great day we had - despite the rain! After a very early start, we performed at 10am on the main stage in the Pavillion which was a great experience. After a couple of hours to take in other performances and get a big cake, we played on the Globe stage. This was under cover thankfully, although the sun did decide to show itself as we were playing. We played to a full, appreciative house before travelling home.

Would you like to play music?
The Heswall Concert Band are a wind instrument band run by friendly musicians for friendly musicians, with an age range from sixteen to sixty (and beyond) and all abilities from beginner to players with music degrees.
Whatever your existing skills, we will help and encourage you to play with parts written for your ability range and the support and advice of many experienced and qualified musicians.
We rehearse on a weekly basis in Heswall Hall and perform regularly at locations across the Wirral and beyond, playing a wide range of music, from film themes to Shostakovich.
Nothing beats playing music in a band! If you are enthusiastic, have an instrument and are willing to practice and rehearse, you will come on in leaps and bounds, whilst meeting lots of new friends.

About Heswall Concert Band
Heswall Concert Band was founded by Les Stevenson and four others in 1996. We play many genres of music including concert band classics, music from shows and films, pop music and even music arranged by some of our members.
Our aim is to provide an environment for
'musicians of all ages and all abilities'
such that their creative musical talents may be enhanced, bringing joy to themselves and sharing this enjoyment with the local community.
We perform at a variety of venues each year and are always working on new opportunities that will develop our community links. Our conductor is Greg Williams who has led the band since 2023. We continue to grow and develop and always welcome new players.
Rehearsals take place every Sunday between 9:45am and 12:00pm and we always make time for a cuppa half way through.
