Live Performance
Brass Band
Non-contesting brass band.
The Coventry Festival Band is a thriving community brass band that enjoys entertaining audiences at a wide variety of venues across Coventry and Warwickshire.
The emphasis is on the enjoyment of making music and our varied repertoire reflects this. We can be found playing anything from traditional brass band pieces to classical and show numbers, singalongs, swing, pop and film music. As well as the musical side of things, we have a lively social involvement including tea and a chat, outings to concerts and band dinners. We have a number of instruments available to lend to anyone without their own.
We rehearse twice a week on Tuesday and Friday evenings, 7:30-9:30pm, at the Cheylesmore Community Centre, Coventry.
Our subscriptions are only £2 per week.
The Centre is a charity and we are extremely proud of the work that has been achieved since 1947 to support our local community. We invest 100% of our surplus back into the centre, either through the development of the building itself, or the services that we provide. We hope to continue to do this good work for many more years to come, and we are grateful for each and every one of you who are able to help us.
There are many ways you can support us, regardless if you are new in the area, or a long-term user of the Centre. Donations are always welcome, but you can help us tremenduously by making some small changes, and at no extra cost to you:
If you are organising a party or a new club, you can book a room with us. We are always happy to hear ideas about new community events, and to offer a space for your special occasions.
If you recently worked with us, you can leave us a positive review or message on Facebook and Twitter. This helps spread the word about us, and helps people decide if they want to use our services in the future.
Cheylesmore Community Association began and was launched by the Lord Mayor of Coventry on Saturday 8th May 1948. CCA runs Cheylesmore Community Centre. The Association became a charity in 1965. The organisation was re-formed as a charity and company in 2010. In 2012 CCA signed a lease from Coventry City Council. Previously used as an administration and Hostel during World War 2, later Cheylesmore School, and a Church and Sunday school before local schools and Quinton Baptist Church. The two houses opposite were where the cleaning staff lived.
