Winterley Brass Band 75th Anniversary Celebrations    
(See Events page for details)        
Last up-dated:   18/5/12




Welcome to Our Website

We are a long- established brass band in South Cheshire, linked to Winterley Methodist Church.

The band is very active and frequently play concerts for a wide variety of church and local community events. Continuing the band’s original purpose, the band still tours the areas around Winterley, performing their “Singing Rounds”.

Members and drop-in guest players join together on an ad hoc basis to advertise the church and its band.

Income from these events go to supporting the church and developing the junior band.

Winterley ‘Brassed’ and Present
Is your group looking for a new idea to include in your programme of speakers? Look no further!

Winterley ‘Brassed’ and Present is an entertaining presentation containing a number of historical and musical highlights from the story of this rare, if not unique brass band. Your speaker will explain how and why a small group of teenagers founded the band, and share with you a flavour of the wide range of music played by the band, together with some amusing anecdotes from the history of the band.

For more information please email:   winterleybrassband@gmail.com
Granville Jennings
Congratulations to Granville Jennings our Assistant MD and band member

The latest Foden’s Band CD Patrons Choice V, which will be launched in February, is to be dedicated to Granville, who was a former soprano player with Fodens Band and is now one of their librarians.   When he was asked to choose a piece for the disc he came up with a gem from the past – Juliet’s Waltz Song from Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet.   Coincidently the piece also appears in the soundtrack of the new "Tin Tin" film. 
Winterley Brass Band photographs
Included in the Gallery section is a range of photographs taken over the years at some of the many concerts and band rounds.   We welcome submissions for inclusion in the site.

For more information on what we do, availability, or to join us - either as an experienced player or a beginner, please contact us via the link on the Contact page.

Many local churches utilise the services of the band for their own special occasions.   One such occasion, at Nantwich Methodist Church, was recorded by the BBC as part of their “Songs of Praise” series.

Winterley Methodist Brass Band is proud of its high reputation and is grateful for the continued support of the community it serves.
