Malmesbury Concert Band is looking for more members as it gears up for a busy schedule for 2022.

They are particularly in need of trombone, horn, clarinet and bassoon players to take part in this year’s programme.

The following programme has been announced, so far:

•Sunday, May 29 – Keynsham Memorial Park

•Sunday, June 26 – John Coles Park, Chippenham

•Sunday, July 17 – Queen’s Park, Swindon

•Saturday, September 3 – Malmesbury Abbey grounds, supporting the Carnival procession

•Saturday, September 24 – Birdcage Walk/Market Cross, Malmesbury

•Saturday, October 22 – Cabaret Night, Wesleyan Room, Malmesbury Town Hall

•Sunday, November 13 – Remembrance Service, Malmesbury Abbey

In addition, it is hoped that the band may secure another Sunday summer engagement in Stroud. A further band programme in the run up to Christmas will be announced later in the year.

Art Robb, MCB Musical Director said: “We are already rehearsing every Friday evening in preparation for this year’s programme after the disappointment of Covid.

"But we would warmly welcome more members, especially trombone, horn, clarinet and bassoon players."
