For more than twenty years, Harmony Brass have been the South East's premier ten piece brass ensemble. They have established an enviable reputation among the cognoscenti for both the virtuosic quality of their playing and their light-hearted approach to music making.
Audiences invariably find Harmony Brass's enthusiasm infectious and the symptoms are broad grins and sudden outbursts of song all the way home.
The ensemble was conceived by a group of visionaries way back in 1984 over a jug of exceedingly mellow ale.
Inevitably, with the passing of two decades, membership has changed, but four remain from the original line-up, (including the bands charismatic leader, Brian Ford). Enthusiasm, commitment and the highest artistic standards have always been the legacy passed to new recruits.
These guys and gals are brilliant - and blowing is what they do best. Some of them play (or have played) professionally, others teach and, alongside their commitment to Harmony Brass, they all play regularly with various other ensembles.
The line-up comprises four cornets (or trumpets), horn, two trombones, euphonium, tuba and drum kit. The usual attire is dinner-jackets for the lads and black dresses for the lasses - but they are not averse to donning festive waistcoats and red dicky bows when's the occasion calls for something less formal.
Their repertoire is surprisingly eclectic. Arrangements of the classics abound, along with original works for brass. At the lighter end of the spectrum are dance and jazz-style numbers and novelty items. Each member of the ensemble is an experienced soloist and so there is plenty of scope for virtuosic display. Harmony Brass is the ideal ensemble to perform a concert packed with entertainment, either inside or outside (with shelter when appropriate). Churches and other community organisations (like village hall committees and fete organisers) have been pleased to engage their services and , over the years, they have helped raise many thousands of pounds for charity. Civic entertainment departments have utilised them to provide music for special events, shows and festivals. Often they have provided a classy focal point for private garden parties (as many mosquitoes can testify), grand openings and various corporate events. They have even played for weddings on a number of occasions (but they are apt to steal the limelight from the happy couple).
