Chapel-en-le-Frith Town Band The Town Band meets every Tuesday at the bandroom on Willow Drive, Chapel-en-le-Frith from 8.00 to 9.30 pm. The junior band, SK23 Brass, meets on Saturdays at the bandroom from 12 noon to 1 pm. In the spring it is hoped to form a beginners’ band, Brass Monkeys, who will also meet on Saturdays. Private tuition on a one-to-one basis takes place through the week. New players are always welcome – please contact Aidan Howgate on 01298 214459. The band has a long history in the town, and has recently celebrated its 125th anniversary with a concert at Chapel-en-le-Frith Methodist Church. Its current aims are to encourage the musical development of its players, with particular emphasis on the junior section; to take part in a regional contest in March 2008; and to raise funds for more instruments and the refurbishment of the band room.

please contact Ave Spencer by email at President: Robert J Mulholland Vice-President: Gordon Booth Chairman: Alan Gray Musical Director: Aidan Howgate Treasurer: David Holder
Engagement
Secretary: Claire Spong The brass band has been part of the cultural life of Chapel-en-le-Frith probably for at least 150 years since the middle of the 19th Century when the standardisation of instrumentation was adopted by groups of brass musicians in the towns and villages of the North of England. In later years, the brass band movement swept across the British Isles and eventually to many countries around the world where it thrives today Groups of musicians, playing brass, reed and string instruments, provided music for services in Churches and at community social functions in Chapel-en-le-Frith in the earlier centuries. However, it is believed that a particular group of brass players which had provided music at Chapel-en-le-Frith Parish Church formed themselves into the Town Band in 1882 when their services were no longer required at the church following the installation of the organ. Brass bands were hugely popular sources of entertainment in the 19th century and it is often said that there were some 40,000 in existence in Britain around 1900. In the early part of the 20th century, a number of bands were active in and around Chapel-en-le-Frith, including the Town Band and the Volunteer Band, and there were also bands in Castleton, Chinley and Bugsworth, as well as Whaley Bridge, Dove Holes, Peak Dale and Fairfield. There was great rivalry between the bands and there are stories of competitions between them, which involved playing while marching up the steep cobbled incline of Church Brow. In 2004 the Band, under the
musical direction of Aidan Howgate, a graduate of University of
Salford music faculty, introduced a Cool2playbrass education project
aimed at strengthening membership and encouraging young people to
take up brass playing. A junior band called SK23 has been formed
along with a learners group called Brass Monkeys. Already young
learners have graduated to the senior band. |
