EASTBOURNE Silver Band is marking an incredible 75 years of music-making with a special concert and everyone’s invited to join the celebration.
Formed in 1950, the band has played a vital role in Eastbourne’s cultural life for decades, performing regularly across Sussex with a reputation for uplifting brass music and community spirit. Now, in its diamond anniversary year, the band is turning its milestone into a moment to give back.
To mark the occasion, the band will host a Celebratory Concert on Thursday 10th July at Meads Hall, Meads Street, starting at 8pm (doors open at 7.45pm). Proceeds from the evening will go towards two much-loved local charities, St. Wilfrid’s Hospice and the Children with Cancer Fund.
Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or just love the sound of a good brass band, this is a feel-good evening not to miss, celebrating 75 years of music, community, and compassion.
A spokesman for the band said, “Eastbourne Silver Band always enjoys playing in the town as we know that the residents will be there to support our efforts, regardless of the weather conditions. We are a community band and, for the past 75 years, we have had the encouragement and support of visitors and the local residents every time we have played.
“In this, our 75th year, we will still be presenting all our usual events but wanted this year to be special and allow the band to give back to the community by way of local charities to say thank you for all that support.”
Tickets for this event can be obtained either from Grand Flowers, Meads Street, Eastbourne, or online at http://www.printsregent.uk/ESB.
