Musical Sections

The Senior Band (Brass Band) of 23 members and Songster Brigade (Adult Choir) of 22 members, perform every Sunday during the meetings, to accompany the hymns, enhance the meetings and bring the message of Our Lord. Throughout the year the Band & Songsters with the assistance of the Senior Timbrel Group, also perform outside of our place of worship, at other churches, nursing homes, hospitals, fetes and garden parties etc. as a form of evangelism.

I must not forget to mention the children of the corps, who have a Young Peoples Band (Brass Band) of 12 members, A Singing Company (Children's Choir) of 11 members and a Junior Timbrel Group of 10 members, who perform in their own right during the Sunday meetings and at outside events, just like the senior sections.
