Welcome to Newark & Sherwood Concert Band

Newark & Sherwood Concert Band is a wind band based in Newark, Nottinghamshire.  

We have over 60 members who regularly attend rehearsals on Tuesday evenings.  Age is immaterial; we have members who are still at school, right through to those who have retired.  We are a friendly group of musicians and whilst taking our music seriously, the emphasis is very much on fun!
