Live Performance
Brass Band
Amington Band have been in existence for nearly 100 years, rehearsing every week, entertaining the people of Tamworth and taking part in contests. As a band we take pride in this, and we're committed to keep the legacy going, the entertainment flowing and brass players blowing. Over the years the band has been placed in all sections; from fourth to the championship section. Right now we're a 3rd section band but we aim high and constantly try to improve. You can read more about our illustrious history on our history page!
Our band is made up of around 25 brass players, about 3 percussionists and 1 Musical Director - Alan Gifford. We have a large age range, our youngest player is currently 16 and our oldest is no spring chicken! But nevertheless we're all equal. The band has a written constitution which we follow to keep everyone in check and this is backed by the band committee.
The committee has both playing and non playing members and is chaired by Marie Turner. They meet once a month to discuss band matters, plan upcoming events and to democratically decide the best way for the band to move forward in the future.
The whole band enjoys playing at a wide range of events throughout the year, from concerts in halls to Christmas carols outdoors, garden fetes, festivals and even weddings!
We also now offer our smaller, Amington 10 Piece Brass Ensemble; catering for occasions where a full band might not be necessary or space is limited. In this we provide a chamber music experience not only for the listeners but also as additional musical training for our players, who learn extra skills by playing without a conductor.
We rehearse on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 8.00pm until 10.00pm in our purpose built Band Room on Sharpe Street in Amington. We welcome all players to come and play with us, whether you want to join us or just want to come and have a blow!
Baddesley Ensor Village Hall and Community Hub stands as a focal point within its Warwickshire setting, a testament to enduring local spirit. More than a mere building, it functions as a vital nexus for village life, hosting everything from parish council deliberations to community gatherings and educational initiatives. Its presence on Keys Hill underscores its central role in the daily rhythm of Baddesley Ensor.
Inside, the recently refurbished spaces offer a clean, adaptable environment. The main hall, with its robust concrete-tiled floor, feels expansive and ready for activity, while the meeting rooms provide a quieter, more intimate setting, often filled with the low hum of conversation or the rustle of papers. Natural light streams through the windows, illuminating the functional yet welcoming interiors.
Practicality underpins the venue's design. A fully equipped kitchen supports a range of events, from simple refreshments to catered functions. Beyond the main structure, extensive recreation grounds offer well-maintained football pitches and a floodlit multi-use games area, extending the community's opportunities for engagement outdoors. Booking facilities are streamlined, ensuring ease of access for organisers.
This hub serves as a consistent backdrop for local narratives, a place where connections are forged and community bonds strengthened. It is a space designed for purpose, reflecting the collective needs and aspirations of Baddesley Ensor.
