This is Stourport-On-Severn Brass Band. The left hand picture was taken at a concert at Stourport-on-Severn High School in June 1997 and there have been a few changes in the personnel since then. Please click on the image for a closer look. A new image reflecting the current personel should be here soon. On the right is a picture of the band on stage at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre alongside the actors from 'Brassed Off'. Again, click the image for a better look.
An up-to-date listing of the band personnel can be found here.

Until October 1999 we rehearsed
at The Fountain
Pub, Habberley near Kidderminster on Tuesday and Friday evenings
in our own room at the top of a very steep set of stairs. Not
much fun when it comes to getting the timps up and down!
However, we were informed that the pub was to be sold and redeveloped
by about November 1999 which caused us to have to find a new
home. Luckily, after local newspaper and radio appeals The
Heath Hotel & Country Club only a few miles away near
Bewdley came to our resue with the offer of storage and rehearsal
facilities only interfered mainly around Christmas when the area
is used for private parties. We are very greatful for the kind
offer of the hotel management and the Jarvis
national hotel chain for their hosting.
The band is currently graded Second Section nationally for 2003. We also recently qualified for the National Finals in March of this year and will be flying up to represent the Midlands in Dundee on September 20th/21st 2003.
The band has a very friendly atmosphere and most players congregate in the bar after rehearsals on a Thursday night (and sometimes on a Tuesday too!) for the odd pint or two. We are always keen to welcome new players of a good standard and so if you would like more details please email me at the address shown below.
