For garden parties and Summer events
The traditional sound of a brass band is a wonderful accompaniment to tea and scones on the village green. CSD Brass can enliven any garden party or fête with a two-hour programme mixing lively music of different styles, old and new. Whether your guests will sit on the lawn to listen, or appreciate the music as a background to the social hubbub, we’re sure we can add something to your event.
June and July are our busiest months of the year, so please do book early to avoid disappointment.
For concerts
At CSD Brass, we pride ourselves on our versatility. Whatever style or period of music you’d like to hear, we can keep your audience rapt with a delicately balanced performance. We’ve played everything from Strauss-themed gala concerts to experimental piano concerti.
At Christmas
You can’t picture Christmas without thinking of a brass band playing carols. CSD Brass can help make your Christmas event feel like Christmas, by providing carols or a more varied programme at your request. We can play indoors or outdoors even into the cold of December. We have experience of many different kinds of venue and event: garden centres, shops, historic buildings, church carol services, and Christmas lights ceremonies. We can even supply a reduced—but still perfectly balanced—band if space at your event is limited.
More information
If you have a specific piece of music in mind, or you’d like us to tailor a programme to your needs, we can usually accommodate this, but you’ll need to plan well ahead so that we can rehearse any special pieces.
For outdoor events, consider preparing an alternative indoor venue, as we won’t be able to play outdoors if it rains. In the hot Summer months, we play at our best in the shade: for example, under a large tree, a marquee, or a bandstand.
