Brass Band

Description

The Bearpark and Esh Colliery Band are a 2nd Section band based in Esh Winning, approximately 6 Miles west of Durham City.

The band have their own rehearsal premises which have undergone renovation recently.

There is no setting stands and chairs up and putting them away for rehearsal, or moving loads of percussion around, we just turn up, rehearse and walk away at the end.

We practice on a Wednesday Evening (7:30pm - 9:30pm) and a Sunday Morning (10:30am - 12:30pm).

The band also have their own van for moving the bigger equipment around, this enables us to take a full compliment of percussion to all engagements.

Description

Once home to three bandstands, one at the pier head, one in the Valley Gardens and one in Hazel Grove, all now lost, a long campaign was fought by local people, in particular the Saltburn 500 Club to bring a bandstand back to the town.

In July 1997 after years of fund raising and a National Lottery Grant for £63,500, the Bandstand,which was designed by Peter Fenton, a well known local architect, was opened.

The Bandstand also boasts decorative security screens made by local wrought ironsmith James Godbold who has a forge in the village of Egton, North Yorkshire. Every year free band concerts are held between May and September. Volunteers from the Saltburn 500 Club work hard to raise money to maintain the bandstand and organise the concerts with support from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council.
