PHOENIX BRASS BAND

Phoenix Brass Band is a friendly 3rd section band based in Crewkerne, Somerset. We were founded back in 1995 with the ethos that banding should be fun, should not dominate your life yet we still take the music seriously. We are a contesting band and have enjoyed successes over the years since our foundation... After our Regional success, we represented the West of England at the National Finals in Cheltenham. Our principal euphonium player, Steve Taylor, was forced to give up playing the euphonium after being diagnosed with Cancer, but was so determined to play a part on the day he joined our percussion section on stage even though he had been weakened by his chemotherapy treatments.
