South West Brass Band Association
The association was set up in 1946 to promote and further the interest of brass banding throughout the Southwest and foster the fellowship within the movement, and it is no mean feat that the association is still strong 60 years on.
The association is very active and currently has a membership of 66 bands. During the course of the year it takes on the responsibility of sponsoring contests throughout the South West. Over the past years it has promoted very successfully education and training events in the vein of conductors workshops, full band workshops as well as individual instrumental workshops, all of which have proved to be very popular with membership bands.
