LYDBROOK BAND 

Lydbrook band is a voluntary organisation that gives the opportunity for people who live in and around the community to come together and enjoy making music with our fellow brass band colleagues. We give concerts in our community and sometimes travel further afield. We also teach young and older people to play brass instruments and loan them an instrument free of charge if needed.
