As always Morecambe Brass Band look forward to presenting our series of free summer concerts in the delightful garden settings of Happy Mount Park in Bare, Morecambe. (The place, not the band we promise!) Please see our Engagements section for our full programme of events.
Bring a chair and a picnic, weather permitting we will be playing a good variety of new pieces as well as some old favourites and traditional music - can feel your foot tapping just thinking about it - see you there! |

Morecambe Brass Band have had a busy couple of weekends recently. Last Saturday (12th June) we played for the opening ceremony of the new Hovercraft Station and the naming of Morecambe's newest lifeboat. This was a well attended ceremony, helped largely by the beautiful weather. Sunday (13th June) saw the band marching at Carnforth Civic Parade, a regular event in our annual programme.
Saturday (19th June) saw a smaller group of us playing at another now annual event at Silverdale Gala. It was wonderful to see the sense of community at this event and Morecambe Brass Band were again proud to be a part of this. A lot of time, imagination and thought had obviously gone into the fancy dress costumes - one or two younger members seemed mesmerised by our band uniforms, perhaps a fancy dress idea for the future?!!

Morecambe Band are very proud to announce the fantastic news of promotion to Championship Section (North West). This is a remarkable achievement considering the band was only promoted to second section last October. The band finished second to Oldham Lees band, beating many other famous band such as Besses O' The Barn and the Haydock band. The band's first outing at the highest level of contesting will be in October at Fleetwood contest. |

Morecambe Brass Band played at Christie Park on Saturday 8th May, home of Morecambe Football Club for many years. Work is well under way on the construction of the club's new £12m stadium, but this was to be a symbolic day for a great many local football fans from over the years.
The band played to welcome the thousands of fans into the stadium and again to welcome the players onto the pitch. The atmosphere was fantastic - even more so when Morecambe went on to beat Aldershot FC 1:0 !!
The band would like to thank Morecambe Football Club and the fans for the warm welcome they received and they would enjoy 'Bringing you Sunshine' at future events....

"Congratulations to everyone connected to Morecambe Band on an excellent performance at the regional contest this weekend. To gain fourth prize was a great achievement and fully deserved. The run-up to the contest was the best I can remember and I am sure was a decisive factor in the result. Now let's look forward to the Easter Concert and the summer concerts."
