New Brass Band - Fortismere Community Brass (Muswell Hill)
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to tell you all about a new community brass band that I've been involved in setting up. Originally established in association with Fortismere Music Centre, we aim to provide a quality community-focused, not-for-profit brass band in the local community. We are very lucky to have the lovely Paul Hooper (principal trombone of the Band of the Irish Guards) as our conductor.
Rehearsals are Friday evenings 7:45-9:45 at Muswell Hill Methodist Church on Pages Lane and all are welcome. If you are an absolute beginner, don't fret - we run a beginners band from 7:15 every Friday where we can teach you the basics so that you can start making music with the band in no time. The beginners band is entirely free of charge and we have some instruments available to borrow.
Also, if anyone has an event that they would like a brass band to play at, we are now taking bookings for the summer and beyond!
Please send me a message or call me on 075 8886 8600 if you are interested or would like more details. More details also available on our website www.fortismerecommunitybrass.org.uk.

After a fantastic start with lots of local interest, we're looking for a few more members to join our ranks. If anyone used to play, currently plays or would like to play a brass instrument (or percussion!), please get in touch.
We'll be out playing in the community this summer including spots in Alexandra Park and the Crouch End Festival. We're always on the lookout for more opportunities to play, so if you have an event that you think might be enhanced by having your local brass band - please give us a call!

It has been a busy weekend for the band, having our first two gigs. On Saturday, we played a party for the lovely people of the Fountains Area Residents Assocation, while on Sunday, we brought live music back to the Grove in Alexandra Park. Pictures, courtesy of Stephen Middleton are available here.
If you didn't get to see us play, don't fret - we are playing a spot at the Crouch End Festival this Sunday 2-3pm outside Hornsey Town Hall. It would be lovely to see lots of you there. As always, we're on the lookout for new players - you don't have to be a musical genius to be able to join in. There will be an opportunity for members of the public to have a go on brass instruments on Sunday, so come on down and give it a try!
