@abbey_brass are looking forward to the visit of @philipharper1 on Wednesday as they look to make the most of the area test piece ‘Hungerford Town’. Always a pleasure to welcome Philip to Abingdon and take our performance to a new level.

Great to have our Beginner Band, Training Band and Main Band all back rehearsing, it’s been a long time. Not so much about the notes at the moment and more about meeting up with friends again. More players joining in next week.

Hi all. We’re sorry we can’t be with you to play carols live as you shop in #Abingdon this weekend, but we’ve made a video instead. Please have a listen and consider dropping some pennies in our virtual bucket: https://t.co/anfxaUPlsn

Hi people of #Abingdon. As we’re unable to provide you with live festive music, we made a video instead. If you’d usually drop some pennies into our bucket as we play while you #christmas shop, pls click here to listen & donate instead: https://t.co/anfxaUPlsn

A huge thank you to @WhiteHorseDC and @teamSVBS who have helped us to access the Government’s Covid-19 support grant. With a return to full banding activities still uncertain, this is a huge relief for our immediate future. We hope to be back entertaining #Abingdon in person ASAP

Hi @teamSVBS we emailed @WhiteHorseDC a week ago as we want to know if we’re eligible for a Small Business Grant Fund, but haven’t had a response yet. We know you’re busy, but don’t want to miss out on the Discretionary Grant too if we find out we can’t get the SBG. Please help?

BrassFestUK Massed Band Isolation Video - 67 players - 'The Spirit of Brass' by @Gavin_Somerset and kindly supplied by @PennineMusic. Thanks also to @philipharper1 and @Coryband for allowing me to use their recording of the piece for the players to follow.

I'm pretty sure this isn't news to the committee @uzi_mc , @abbey_brass , but just in case ...
Bandroom cash up for grabs from local councils: It is well worth finding out if your band can get a grant of £10,000 from your local authority under the Small Business Grant Fund help scheme.
