Tom takes to the pool for charity
On Sunday 29th April LGB will be squaring up to our next contest challenge, the scaba Spring Contest at the Hawth Theatre, Crawley.

Well we always knew they were a bright bunch and now they’ve […]
Well done Christina and Adam!
They made it… LGB Brass members Adam Kearley (solo cornet) and Christina Farey (soprano cornet) walked 21 miles from Claydon Windmill to Alfriston via Firle Beacon on the hottest day of the year so far. But it’s not too late to sponsor them! All that hard work was for the benefit of the British Heart […]
