Heswall Concert Band

Heswall Concert Band are a wind band run by friendly musicians for friendly musicians, with an age range from sixteen to seventy (and beyond) and all abilities from beginner to players with music degrees.

We play many genres of music including concert band classics, music from shows and films and even music composed and arranged by some of our members. 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.  

The Band encourages high standards of performance and musicianship in a wide range of material, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with an emphasis on learning and personal musical development, whilst contributing to the local community and having an enjoyable experience.


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.

Rehearsals

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.

one of the pieces we performed.

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 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.
