The Old Blowers group was established in November 2016. The idea of creating this group was to give members the chance to learn all about the rudiments of music from the absolute beginning. Furthermore, members were given the opportunity to learn to play a brass instrument. The ethos behind this was to follow up on medical evidence which suggested that learning music or taking up a new language would help to stave off the onset of dementia! The group is now 26 strong and are now playing music, and giving public performances. An astonishing achievement.!

We are continuing to fulfil public engagements as the ensemble gets better and better! with a bit of comedy thrown in!

If there are any new members who used to play in their previous lives, then feel free to contact either Coordinator. Max or Roy,  I can honestly say you will enjoy the experience!! Just ask Jeff Jones, he started playing bits of percussion and has now progressed onto the tenor horn, he also started from scratch learning the rudiments of music. He is now a fully fledged player!

We continue to meet on Thursday mornings at Dodworth Miner's Welfare in the Dodworth Brass band rehearsal room, starting at 10am playing until 12 noon. 

Don't worry if you have a disability as we now have mobile ramps.
