ABOUT

Lerwick Brass Band is Britain's most northerly, and Shetland's only, brass band. The band was founded in 1863, and has gone from strength to strength since.

​

We currently rehearse every Tuesday night promptly from 19:45 until 21:30 at the Bandroom in Gilbertson Park, Lerwick. The doors are open from 19:30 on Tuesday nights. We also practise on Sunday mornings from 11:00 until 12:30, except in the summertime. Check out the news feed for more information on whether Sunday practises are currently on.

​

There are currently 27 members in the band, along with several other occasional members. There are no fees to join or play in the band.

​

If you're keen to join the band, find out more, or just visiting the islands and have an interest in local music, then please come along to a practice. Everyone is welcome, and we have instruments for anyone to borrow.
