Welcome to Gawthorpe Brass '85
   
   
   
   
   
About Us
 
Gawthorpe Brass '85 is an organisation with four brass bands - a junior, a youth and two senior - a mother and toddlers' music group, a music funshop for 2-5 year olds, a music workshop for 5-7 year olds, beginners' brass classes, exam classes and percussion tuition.

Our aim is to promote the enjoyment of music through playing and performing on a brass instrument. Children can begin in the toddlers group and continue through to become members of the bands - and many have done so!
