Are you planning a corporate or charity event? Have you got a big party coming up? Would you love a live band, but think you can't afford it? Think again - find out how surprisingly inexpensive Charter Band really is.
Meet us!
Do you have a trumpet hidden away in the attic somewhere and wish you had an excuse for playing it? Are you just starting out on the flute and would like to get together with a friendly group of musicians once a week for a bit of extra practice? Are you (dare we ask) a bit of an exhibitionist who just fancies performing exciting saxophone solos in front of the crowds at one of our gigs? Charter Band will welcome you - find out more about joining GCCB.
Are you interested in what makes a concert band tick? Did you catch one of our recent concerts and want to know more about that gorgeous clarinettist? Find out more about the GCCB community.
