We are a community wind band based in Barnet, north London, Originally established as a brass band in 1889 we are now the longest established band in Barnet. We rehearse weekly and perform a mixture of indoor and outdoor concerts throughout the year - in churches, parks, garden centres, fairs and even the Hendon RAF museum. Auditions are not required, and we are seeking new members, particularly in the lower brass section.
FEATURED IN MAKING MUSIC MAG!
As part of Making Music’s 90th anniversary, Barnet Band was interviewed as one of their longest standing members to illustrate the contributions of amateur music making to life in the UK.
