A nation of band lovers.
From the traditional industrial beginnings of the brass band in northern England, this musical world steeped in history has evolved into a vibrant array of brass, wind and percussion instruments and varying genres of repertoire from the classical to contemporary. Nothing is more rousing than the upbeat sound of a band overture whether it be a brass, jazz, wind, big or silver band during a live concert or at an outdoor festival and they will forever be part of our rich British musical heritage.
At Sound Escapes, we fully appreciate the requirements of a band and will discuss the logistics of transporting and storing your instruments at the very start of the enquiry process.
Performance Highlights
The UK plays host to several band competitions and festivals throughout the year and welcomes bands from all over the British Isles and overseas to perform in our cities, towns and beautiful countryside. One of the most picturesque being the annual Hardraw Scar Brass Band where bands perform within close proximity to the unique surroundings of a natural amphitheatre located next to a dramatic waterfall within the Yorkshire Dales. The summer months bring numerous wonderful outdoor concerts in the hundreds of park bandstands within picturesque parks and gardens.
Performance highlights during a tour of the British Isles could be at a bandstand in one of London’s Royal Parks, an indoor performance overlooking Hadrian’s Wall, participating in one our many Band festivals or regional events or even the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival?!
