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)

Gordale Christmas Charity Event

Our first Christmas event of 2019 was on the 11th November at Gordale Garden Centre's Christmas Charity Spectacular.  We were joined by a Signing Choir who provided the music for the first part of the evening; we had our usual position on the mezzanine whilst the choir set up on the steps leading up to it.

In June this year we combined forces with a band from Portsmouth.  The Royal British Legion Victory Brass Band visited us in Ellesmere Port. The Joint Concert Video picture was taken at the concert at Trinity Methodists Church,  on Saturday 29th June. If you click on it you can see a short (nine minutes) video of snippets from the concert.  You can see some other images from the concert by following this link - Trinity Church Concert. 

The second was on the following Sunday at the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port at lunch time - see the image on the left.  It was an early performance as the Portsmouth Band had to head home in the afternoon.  We have played there on several occasions and it is a very pleasant venue and everyone enjoyed  playing in the sun.  You can see some images from the concert by following this link to Waterways Museum Concert.
