Who is Barnet Band?

 

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.
