BANDS ACROSS THE WATER

It looks like bands from the emerald isle can't wait to get over here. The SBBA has heard from two Irish bands wishing to visit Scotland in the near future.

 

Fresh from their visit to the EBBA European Championships in Stavanger recently the Murley Silver Band from County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland would like to gain further contesting experience by attending contests in Scotland. The band are the current Northern Ireland champions and attended the B section contest in Stavanger where their programme was well received. Any contest organisers who may wish to invite the band can contact them at the following address.

We have also received an enquiry from a band in Ireland wishing to do a exchange visit with a band in Scotland. They are the St.Mary's Brass & Reed Band from Kingscourt, Co.Cavan, in Ireland, which is about 60 miles north of Dublin. Any band who is interested in pursuing an exchange with the St. Marys Brass and Reed band should in the first instance contact peter Fraser at events@sbba.org.uk.
