Ellesmere Port Concert Brass

Welcome and many thanks for visiting our web site!

We are a traditional brass band which strives to provide quality entertainment for the general public by playing concert music rather than entering contests.

Ellesmere Port Concert Brass (EPCB) is a registered charity raising funds from a number of sources. Fortunately we have received sponsorship over the years from several local employers, for which we are extremely grateful. We ask for a small subscription from members, but payment for playing concerts is by far our biggest income generator.

In the main we play in the Wirral and Merseyside area with excursions into rural Cheshire. We meet weekly on a Thursday evening for practice at Capenhurst Village Hall (Ellesmere Port)

Please navigate the site to find out more about us including our long and proud history as a brass band and also our up to date Events Diary.

Summer Postponed...

Last year you may have attended one of the concerts we performed with Portsmouth's Royal British Legion Victory Brass Band. Well this year it was our turn to visit them in Portsmouth but, as you might expect, that too was cancelled because of Coronavirus restrictions. You can see some images and a video from one of last years concerts by following this link - Trinity Church Concert.

Covid

Sadly, as a result of Cornavirus restrictions, our practices and concerts have all been cancelled until further notice.

Vacancies

We welcome all players of whatever ability...you are encouraged to come along and join us for our Thursday evening practice and hopefully become a member of our band.

Currently we have vacancies for a drummer and Bb and Eb Basses, and, of course, there's always room for more cornets - both on our back and front rows. If you don't own your own instrument we can provide one for you.

As we have said above, there are no practices at the moment but if you use the Contact Page to send us your details we'll get in touch and let you know when we start practicing again.
