We think this is quite an achievement for a small village, and although there have been some lean times, and indeed a couple of periods when the band folded for a few years, the present ensemble is doing well. The past few years have seen a resurgence in the band's organisation with the introduction of a Training Band and Learner Groups. The Senior Band is steadily progressing musically under the Direction of Sheldon Barwick. Many of the musicians are members of long standing although the playing staff has been strengthened from time to time with new members. Historically, as one might expect with a village band, families have always played a big part in the band structure.
Today is no exception with many family groups present in the band's membership.
