We are sad to report that Francis Cowley, our founding Musical Director and President of the band has sadly passed away at the age of 96.  He was an inspiration to countless musicians in Swindon, Wiltshire and the wider area and will be hugely missed. His biography on our website can only begin to cover his musical life, suffice to say our band would not exist without his hard work, enthusiasm and support, and we will work hard to continue his legacy to music in Swindon and the local area.

The band had a wonderful time at Witney in the recent Oxford District Brass Band Association entertainment contest, and we came away with a host of trophies! Our programme of The Flintstones, Magh Seola (with a fantastic solo from Jo Dilley on flugel), Born Free and wrapping up with Cruella de Vil was enjoyed by audience and adjudicator alike, with our band winning first position in our section, Jo picking up best instrumentalist, and our musical director Steve Yorke winning best compere!
​Thanks to the ODBBA for organising a great contest, look forward to returning next year!
