About Us
LGB Brass is an active and popular band based in Lewes, the county
town of East Sussex.
We have around 50 members from across East and West Sussex,
attracted by the band's friendly atmosphere and high standard of
music. As well as the main band, we have an ensemble of
experienced mainly younger players and a group of young learners who
are preparing to move into the main band.
Repertoire and booking
We have a large and varied repertoire. At our concerts, you
will hear traditional marches, music from film and stage, virtuoso
solo items and the best from the modern brass repertoire. Click here for details on how to book us
