Highlights from 2024

Heswall Concert Band’s Christmas Selection Box

The Palm House, Sefton Park - December 2024 

Heswall Concert Band had a great time performing festive selection box of music at The Palm House in  Sefton Park. The programme included Sleigh Ride, White Christmas, songs from Christmas movies, carols for all to sing and a special arrangement of The 12 Days of Christmas, commissioned from musical director Greg Williams. 

Here is a link to a video of an excerpt of
one of the pieces we performed.

Llangollen Eisteddfod -  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 Pavilion which was a great experience.  After a couple of hours to take in other performances and visit the trade stalls, 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.

Rehearsals take place every Sunday between 9:45am and 12:00pm at Heswall Hall, 111 Telegraph Road, Heswall, Wirral, CH60 0AF.  

We always make time for a cuppa and chat half way through.

We continue to grow and develop and always welcome new players. 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.
