New home for Burbage

After years of hard work, Burbage has completed their move to their new bandroom.

Burbage
 

Following several years of high profile fund raising, the members and
commitment of Burbage Band are absolutely overjoyed, and very proud,
to have finally completed their new bandroom and to have held their first rehearsals and junior band teaching sessions there.

Worked tirelessly

Steve Critchlow, MD told 4BR: "The members have worked tirelessly to complete this ambitious dream, and acknowledge that it would never have been possible without so many acts of support from the community.

The donations and best wishes from so many sources have been over whelming. As such it would be almost impossible to thank each individually personally."

Throwing doors open

On Sunday 15th June the band is throwing the doors of their new facility open for everyone to come and look out. The event will run from 11am to 4pm, and as well as seeing the new bandroom with all its memorabilia on display, you can join them in the Institute Hall and find out about their activities.
