What our audiences say about us:
“Many thanks to you and all the members of the band for an enjoyable and uplifting concert yesterday afternoon. You had put together a very good programme and it’s great to feel the energy and enthusiasm which the band exudes. It’s very good to have the Barnes Concert Band as part of the festival and thank you for making such a wonderful contribution. I have had lots of very positive comments on the event and of course on the tea!” Andrew Summers, Barnes Music Festival 2022
“The Band played superbly, both accompanying the carols and “in concert”, with some joyful and witty choices”. “The Barnes Concert Band always gives pleasure, especially at Christmas.” Jane Bennett-Powell, Barnes Community Association, Barnes Music Festival, St Michael’s and All Angels Church. 2019
“A huge thank you for a truly fantastic concert last night – there was something for everyone. The music making was excellent.” Diana Midmer, Macmillan Cancer Support Volunteer, East Sheen.
“The Barnes Concert Band’s performances have been an essential part of the success of our Summer Garden Parties at Trumpeters’ , Richmond. The broad range of musical styles and the quality of their performances have provided the perfect party backdrop for this event. The sounds of the Band drifting across the Riverside and Green have definitely attracted more people to attend our Garden Parties.” Rose Barling, Museum of Richmond.
