Toccata and Fugue
When German J S Bach composed his Toccata and Fugue for organ in the 18th century we doubt that he ever imagined that an African youth brass band would ever play a version of it! But here's the modern rock style with additional music by Leroy Holmes and Kevon Peek arranged by Jan Van Kraeydonck of Bernaerts Music. And starring our own band drummer Jeremiah, aged 15 years!
But we can only play like this if you can support Jeremiah or one of his friends by sponsoring one of them to stay in school So if you could spare a contribution of £15 a month we would be so grateful. Please contact our manager mariam.mwaj@gmail.com if you can help or go to this link directly.

He is now our soprano player and lives with his bed sick mother and a father who is a peasant. Wopuni is facing a challenge of school fees. Wopuni said"Because my mother is always sick and my father is just a peasant, m...
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Jim Steinman, arr. by Keith Terrett

The name of the piece the children are playing is Total Eclipse of the Heart by Jim Steinman, arr. by Keith Terrett. It was a worldwide hit for Bonnie Tyler some years back. But we can only play music like this if the children can afford to go to school so we would be really grateful for anyone who would be willing to sponsor one of the children in the band or make a small donation here at: gog...
Love Story - Words and Music by Taylor Swift. Arranged by Gavin Somerset

Like so many other people across the world, our band includes quite a number of great fans of Taylor Swift (Swifties) who really enjoy her music. Therefore as Taylor Swift is still moving on with her Eras tour across the world, we decided to play one of Taylor's older songs for the Swifties and the local youth and our own enjoyment. So here is the brass band version of "LOVE STORY "!!! But we c...
Eloise by Paul and Barry Ryan, arr. David Beal

was only 16 years old in 1968 when Paul Ryan wrote his worldwide hit ‘Eloise’ and it was performed and recorded by his twin brother Barry to much acclaim. Like so many others of my generation, I became huge fan of the record and it became and remains my favourite pop song to this day. Eloise - Barry Ryan (1948 - 2021) (youtube.com) Imagine how excited I was 50 years later when I learned that Da...

2023 has been a very successful year for the band as we continue our renewal and recovery from the challenges we faced during the Covid pandemic and our loss of so many accomplished players when schools were closed for almost two years. But our young learners improve every month and we estimate we are now at 75% of where we were when we were at our peak in 2019 when we performed our first conce...

Some of you will remember our Euphonium player, Halima, performing a piece called Kalema back in July. Thank you to all the 35K supporters that gave us a ‘like’ for her playing. It was also the first time in our history that a girl in the band has received 260 individual FB likes in the comments section of a video. Following this success we thought it was only fair that her big sister, Babirye,...
KALEMA by Alan Fernie

In March we posted a short a short video of Joshua Kibicho playing a piece called Myfanwy. We described Joshua as our second Euphonium player and many people contacted us to ask who is our first euphonium player then! Here she is - Halima Logosi, making her first attempt during our band practice at playing a piece called Kalema by Alan Fernie, conducted by Joshua. So it’s Halima playing Kalema!...

This is Joshua Kibicho, our 2nd Euphonium player. This month he passed his A levels with good results. Joshua would like to progress to University to qualify as a teacher of Music and I.T. However, he lost his father in 2022 and his mother is in very poor health having suffered injuries in a life-changing accident the previous year. So funding further studies will be extremely difficult. So Jos...

Our August post seemed to be popular as we generated 126,000 'likes' and 2.6M views of 'I will follow him' on Facebook. We were obviously pleased and so grateful for all the support from around the world. We played this famous piece six years ago. But being a youth band, except for three 'veterans', every player has left since then and become a young adult after being sponsored through their ed...

It’s been a tough year for the band so far. Although schools re-opened in January, there is huge pressure on pupils to catch up with the time lost when schools were closed for almost two years due to Covid restrictions. The timetable and curriculum has had to change and it leaves very little time for our players to practice. Even weekends are often taken up with extra lessons. Still, we try our...

Mariam is a former player and has created a tailoring business that will keep her busy when the children are at school. To celebrate this unique appointment, we also invited Mariam’s sister, Halima, our Principal Euphonium P...

We're very pleased at the reception that we received, and the number of encouraging comments. After the competition ended and results were announced, we were placed 8th out of 18 bands in the youth section, and reached 91 out of 119 ...
