The main purpose of Pill Festival Band is to encourage the learning and playing of live music, so that those involved can play for their own enjoyment, and also that of others in bringing live performances to local events and concerts. We also encourage under 18s to play by providing free orchestral instrument loan. There is no audition needed, and we cater from complete beginners upwards.

The Pill Festival Band is a group of 20 plus musicians who rehearse together on Monday evenings at Penny Brohn UK. We have two sections; Beginner, and main Band and so welcome players of any ability and age.

Our main charitable aims are: to provide a platform for local musicians of all ages to regularly practice and learn together in a sociable, relaxed, safe and supportive environment, to perform at local events, to provide low cost opportunities for young people to develop musical and social skills and to encourage the breaking down of any local social or financial barriers to the acquiring of music skills.

If you would like to come and play with us (all orchestral instruments and all levels and ages welcome) or want to know more about the band please see our website for further details.
