WE'RE BACK! Happy New Year! We're sorry we're a bit late but we took the liberty of having a week off after our extremely busy Christmas season! We're back now, however, and already getting into the swing of our exciting Spring Concert programme, entitled 'East Meets West'. Lots more info coming soon...!
Missing you already xx

Thanks to all those who have come to hear us, enjoyed our music, or just kept an occasional eye on our Facebook posts and website this year! We hope that Santa brought you what you wanted and look forward to seeing you in the new year! Now, where are those mince pies...

We've been busy little elves here at WCB this week! We rounded off our season of Christmas music-making last night by leading carols at a private function in Caversham - after 4 gigs in 3 days and entertaining around 2,000 people in the last month we're definitely ready for our Christmas break!

Well, we're one concert in to our incredibly festive double bill and it's going swimmingly so far (and not just because it's perfect weather for ducks)! Our afternoon audience loved our Holly Jolly Christmas Concerts and we'll be back to do it all over again in just over an hour! Come and join us at Reddam House Theatre (formerly Bearwood College) at 7:30pm TONIGHT (Sunday) if you want your Christmas to get started with a bang (a few tickets still available on the door) - it's an amazingly festive night out! See you soon!
Elderly bassoonist towards the back is still 'at it'!!
Good luck. Hope your new conductor wears her Christmas hat well. ππ€Άπ

They know how to do village carolling in Binfield Heath - it's a brilliantly well-organised event! We loved playing for them this evening even though it was minus one degree. We also loved the mulled wine and mince pies. And check out Santa's amazing car-drawn sleigh!They know how to do village carolling in Binfield Heath - it's a brilliantly well-organised event!

These are lovely photos! I know John Dean and enjoy seeing photos he posts of the Woodley Band! I remember playing Trombone in England, and it’s great to see a bit of Carolling from home! I migrated from the uk to Australia 5 years ago, were I now enjoy carolling in Summer with Geraldton City Band! Merry Christmas to all from Australia!
