After our success at Boarshurst Band club we were then asked by Lydgate Village if we could help them with their VE Day celebration. The band played plenty of rousing wartime and military music and everyone enjoyed the afternoon, pictures of the day are available on our gallery page.
We have a busy summer and details of the bands up and coming concerts can be found on our engagements page.
2025 has been a year of change so far this year. We said fairwell to our long standing conductor Jim Hunter, unfortunately due to various health issues Jim has suffered from over the last 18 months he felt it was time to retire. We wish Jim all the best for the future and hope to see you at one of our future concerts. We welcomed Graham Barnes back to the band at the end of January only this time as conductor. He certainly had a baptism of fire as we had a concert four weeks later, thankfully it was a sucess with much praise for the band on their concert.
2025 is now in full swing and the band is busy preparing music for the concert season ahead. If you play any brass instrument and fancy coming along to a rehearsal or if you would like to book the band for an engagement this year please send us a message on Facebook or use our contact form which can be found here.
Happy new year! Lydgate Band would like to say a big thank you to everyone who played for the band over the busy festive period. We understand what a busy time Christmas can be and it is wonderful that members of the band and guests were happy to play at all of our engagements.

We have now gone contactless!
Many of our concerts rely on donations from the public and as people now have less cash on them, we felt it was the right time to invest in a card machine. If you see us out and about over Christmas or in the future, remember you now have the option to make a donation to us using your card as well as using our usual collection buckets. As always, thank you so much to all those who support us with donations.

We really enjoyed performing at Boarshurst and are already looking forward to next year.
