The East London Community Band was formerly known as the Tower Hamlets Youth & Community Band and was set up in 1974 to serve the needs of wind instrument beginners as well as more accomplished players.

Our aim is to bring affordable music-making to all, irrespective of age, income and whether a complete beginner or more accomplished.

We provide a supportive and non-competitive environment which is reflected in our teaching methods and the music we play.

We rehearse on Friday evenings at the Shadwell Centre near Limehouse DLR.

We offer a range of bands to suit all levels of experience including those just starting out. You can enjoy a wide-ranging repertoire from film music and big band jazz to popular classics.
