Excited to see this launching in the village!

Thanks to everyone who dropped in on Saturday: it was a brilliant way to kick things off and great to meet so many interested players.

Now we’re gearing up for our first rehearsal this Friday at 7.30pm, and we can’t wait to get started.

We’re still looking for more players, so if you fancy joining a friendly new community concert band, you’d be very welcome. All concert band instruments are invited.

Find out more or get in touch at www.udvcband.co.uk or by email [email protected]
