Enjoyment is the ethos!
Friezland Band was born into the brass band country 25 years ago in the heart of Saddleworth, the home of the Whit Friday band contests and 100 years of brass band tradition.
It is a community based 4th section band with a very mixed ability with players from 8 to 80. Enjoyment is the ethos at Friezland.
The band runs an open door policy and anyone is welcome. The band has a number of experienced players, some young and some who have been adult learners. Everyone involved comes for pleasure and enjoyment under baton of the very likeable local trombone player Paul Kershaw.
The band also runs a training band on Saturday mornings which meets at Friezland Church Hall, so anyone who fancies learning from scratch will be most welcome.
The band has now set up its own band room at the Warmco Mill in the neighbouring town of Mossley, and rehearse every Monday and Thursday from 7.30-9.30pm.
