About Newark &Sherwood Concert Band

Picture
​​Newark & Sherwood Concert Band is a wind band based in Newark, Nottinghamshire.  We have been performing in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding region since the band was established in its current format, by Caroline Noble Walker in 1997.  The band is a registered charity.

If you play woodwind, brass or percussion at Grade 5 standard or above and want to play in an East Midlands concert band why not COME AND JOIN US?  We're particularly keen on attracting more brass.

We have nearly 60 members of varying standards from Grade 5 upwards, several of whom are professionals/diploma graduates.  Between 40-50 regularly attend rehearsals on Tuesday evenings.  Your 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!  

Newark & Sherwood Concert Band's Musical Director is Colum J O'Shea - young, dynamic, full of enthusiasm with some great ideas for the future.  Our Deputy MD is Brian Newland, who has stepped in to conduct us at several rehearsals or concerts when needed - he is the long-serving Musical Director of Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Concert Band.

We have regular concerts booked throughout the year; playing at inside and outside venues.

We do have a temporary restriction on flutes, alto saxes and clarinets - please ask us to put your name on our waiting list. 

Annual membership is currently £80.  This is reduced to £40 for students and young people under the age of 18. If you join part way through the year, this will be pro rated.
