The Woodfalls Concert Brass (WCB) are an acclaimed group of musicians based in the South West of England near the New Forest and the historic city of Salisbury, entertaining their audiences through diverse and innovative programmes of beautiful and exciting music performed at the highest level.

The Band has been performing concerts since in 1976 when it was formed by Ron Bligh and Eric Spreadbury. It has grown over the last century and today it gives upwards of 20 concerts a year, predominately across the South West of England.

The WCB also performs at a series of competitions where it has enjoyed much success over the years. This was well evidenced in December 2005 when the Band was crowned at the Wessex regional contest coming 1st in the Championship Section, beating bands from all over the South of England to become the “Wessex Champions”.

Also in 2005 the band achieved 3rd place in the National Finals held in Harrogate in September.

As well as the main Band, a wide range of ensembles perform across the region at community events.

The Band has now formed its own Youth Band (The Woodfalls Junior Band, WJB), which provides a valuable opportunity for young people in the area to learn brass musical instruments or percussion, through it’s dedicated team of volunteers.

There is now a good mix of players within the Band, with youth players coming through and experienced players coming in with success already under their belts. This combination has produced a band of formidable talent and ambition for our acclaimed Musical Director Steve Dunster to mould and give the band even more success in the future.
