Why not come down to a rehearsal on a Tuesday evening? You will be made to feel most welcome.
The Shirebrook Miners Welfare Training or 'B' Band is for people who have either just started playing an instrument or have an interest in playing in a brass band.
Our practice night is Tuesday at 7pm in Shirebrook Miners Welfare.
The B band offers individual and group tuition to those learning to play an instrument, this is run alongside the bands rehearsal time and gives these players a chance to play with people at the same level.
At each rehearsal the training musicians are welcomed to play selected pieces they have been rehearsing with the rest of the B band so they can hear how all the instruments sound in a piece of music.
The 'B' Band welcomes players of any age, both children and adults who wish to play a brass instrument.
We play a good selection of traditional brass band and modern music and
also includes some current and ex members of the senior band.

On Saturday 9th May we appeared at St. Peters Church, Elmton to a sell-out audience. What a great evening we had there. It was a fantastic atmosphere and we look forward to a return visit!
On Saturday 25th April we appeared at the Oaklands Community Centre, Oakfield Lane, Warsop. We played a variety of music to accompany an afternoon tea to raising funds for the John Eastwood Hospice.
We thoroughly enjoyed entertaining and had a marvellous reception in aid of such a wonderful cause.
News:-
We are recruiting at the moment! We are looking for any age from 7 upwards* to learn the fun of playing a musical instrument. This is free and instruments are provided to borrow. Get in touch with Graham for more information.

During the Christmas period 2025 we raised £550 for the John Eastwood Hospice, Sutton in Ashfield whilst playing carols thanks to the generous donations by members of the public so a huge thank you to everyone who contributed.
Co op members who shop at a Co op store in a 5 mile radius of Shirebrook can help to raise funds for our B Band.
