Sunday 11th November was, for obvious reasons, a very busy day for the band. Adam Kearley, LGB’s bumper, represented the band in the Memorial Garden in Newhaven, playing the Last Post and Reveille; Phil Goldsmith was out doing the honours with the Royal British Legion in East Dean, whilst the rest of LGB took part […]

Brass for life – over the waves
On Friday 7th September, LGB Brass will be performing at the Kings Church, Eastbourne, to raise money for the Eastbourne Branch of the RNLI. Eastbourne has a new lifeboat, a new Tamar Class. “Diamond Jubilee” was named by the Earl and Countess of Wessex on 6th July. Costing some £2.7 million, she replaces the old […]
Olympic performance in Lewes for LGB
The Olympic Torch passed through East Sussex today and in typical style, LGB were there to entertain the crowds lining the streets of Lewes waiting for the arrival of the once-in-a-lifetime procession. We split into two groups, one playing to shoppers in the pedestrianised zone at the bottom of the High Street and the other in […]
LGB celebrate in style
Sunday 22nd April saw us celebrate our 90th birthday in style, with a concert at what sometimes feels like our second home, Lewes Town Hall. The programme featured solos from former member James Emberley on euphonium, as well as from current members Tony Line (also on euph) and Simon Emberley (cornet). The LGB training band […]
Everyone’s welcome at our Birthday party!
In April 2012 we will be celebrating the 90th Birthday of our band. This year is particularly special, as it also marks the 10th anniversary of the move to our home in Lewes. This seemed like a good excuse for a party, so we’ll be holding a concert at 3pm on Sunday 22nd April 2012 […]
Busy weekend – or what?!
Friday 10th Feb saw a few LGB members hot-footing it to Ringmer Community College to help me (with my scaba hat on) set up for the Solo, Quartet and Ensemble Contest. That done, we prepared for the journey to Dover the following day. The band had entered the new DFDS Seaways Open Brass Band Contest. […]
Special guest star boosts carolling takings
LGB entertained the Christmas shoppers of Lewes on Sunday 18 December. It being the night after the band’s Christmas dinner at the Green Man, Ringmer (great food, by the way) there were one or two sore heads around – but nevertheless we raised a fantastic £189.22 (and 30 cents). Thanks to everyone who threw us […]
Daniel’s Remembrance Day to remember
LGB would like to (slightly belatedly) congratulate Daniel Starnes, whose first full job with the band was on 13th November at the Remembrance Parade in Ringmer. Well done on doing a great job Daniel – and we look forward to seeing more of you in the future!
LGB raise money for Macmillan
On 22nd October LGB performed at the All Souls Church in Eastbourne to celebrate the centenary of the Macmillan Charity. We’re very proud to say that a massive £940 was raised through the event, and both LGB Brass and Macmillan would like to thank all those who attended and made donations. All that’s left to […]
Come and hear us – indoors, for free, and with cake!

We’ll be at the All Saints Centre, Friar’s Walk, Lewes from 8pm […]
