The presents are being bought, the turkey has been ordered and the mulled wine is bubbling on the stove.. meaning it is December in Fulham! The band have been preparing for our busy Carol Season and have a selection of excellent events that you would all be very welcome to come and support us at:

The full band will be performing our special Christmas set three times in the next 2 weeks. This Thursday 5^th December we are delighted to be part of the JDRF Christmas Celebration Concert as part of Diabetes Research UK at St James Church near Paddington (from 7:00pm). Fulham is always delighted to be part of any charity work and we look forward to performing alongside the JDRF Type 1 Choir and the Get Gospel Choir. Then on Sunday 8^th December we will be back in our rehearsal home of St John’s Church in Fulham for a special Christmas Advent service at 6:00pm led by Father Mark Osbourne. This will be the final concert of 2013 in Fulham and is free of charge with refreshments available. Our final main band concert will be Festive Brass at 4:00 pm on Sunday 15^th December. This will be the third time the band has taken part in this special concert alongside our friends at Regent Brass and Richmond Youth Music Trust. It is sure to be a merry festive occasion with plenty of opportunities for carol singing!

Apart from these 3 concerts we will also be performing in several smaller carol gigs (please see the gigs list for an up to date list of where we will be!). We really hope to see all of you at one of our concerts and look forward to Christmas preparations and spreading the festive joy!

FULHAM Brass Band are seeking a FRONT ROW CORNET, a Bb BASS (instrument available!) and PERCUSSIONIST (Grade 7/8 or equivalent) to add to our existing line up ASAP!
We are an ambitious and sociable 2nd section band and welcome applications from motivated and competent individuals. Under the baton of recently appointed MD Chris Augustine we were runners up in the 1st section at the SCABA Autumn Contest in Crawley at the end of September, and back in June we were champions of the 2nd section at the French Open in Amboise. Over the coming months the band will be working with our MD, pushing towards promotion to the first section.
As a central London Brass Band based in Fulham (rehearsing on Monday nights) we welcome a large group of hard-working players from around the world who have a strong desire to succeed in local and national competitions plus a busy calendar of exciting projects!
