As well as providing entertainment, Mid Sussex Brass Band aims to stimulate and support local musicians of all ages and abilities. It is inviting local people to come along and show their support for live music and amateur musicians in the area. The band is always keen to encourage new members to join. It welcomes players at all levels and of all brass instruments.
Mid Sussex Brass Band chair Julie Smyth said: “It’s important to pay tribute to the amazing contribution Paul made not only to Mid Sussex Brass Band but to so many other local bands and music groups. Brass banding was his passion and he devoted all his time and energy to supporting live music and encouraging young musicians. We’re looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces on June 7 for a programme of music dedicated to Paul but designed for everyone to enjoy in his memory.
“Mid Sussex Brass Band performs a range of music to suit all tastes across Sussex and further afield at concerts, community events and private functions.”
