It is with great sadness that TCTC Group Band announces the death of Colin Cranson. A former solo euphonium of the Foden Band, Colin was MD of Roberts Bakery Band for 40 years, a record almost unheard of in the brass band movement. Many of us will remember with fondness Colin’s unique phrases and musical direction. Colin was a real character and a genuine bandsman who gave his time and loyalty to the banding movement for so long. RIP Colin, we will be remembering you at rehearsal this Sunday

The band has a few baritone seats empty due to holidays for the next 2 weeks starting this Sunday. If anyone is free and fancies a blow please let us know. All are welcome.

We re sending best wishes to our great friends at Atlantic Brass this weekend as they compete in the NABBA contest. Knock it out of the park guys !!

During the bands concert on Saturday at St Nathaniel’s Academy we honoured a player who after 26 years of first class service now retires from our cornet section. Stevie Neville joined back in 1993 and has been nothing but excellent as a bandsman and as a loyal friend to us all. We wish him well and will always enjoy seeing him at the bandroom or a concert. One of the brass band worlds true gentlemen. Thank you Stevie from all of us at TCTC Group Band.

A great concert at St Nathaniel’s Academy last night, plenty of outstanding musical children and staff on display along side the band. A packed to the brim hall helped raise funds to support the school - an excellent event so well organised by the staff especially Daniel Keen Craig Wood and Principle Mrs Jones a few thank you’s also go to Emily, Stephen, Rob, Gareth and Paula who all played with TCTC Group Band Now it’s time to prepare for The spring Festival Contest and then our appearance in Brassed Off at The New Vic Theatre.
