Ware Brass were proud to name Phillip Littlemore as an Honorary Life Member of the Band at the final rehearsal prior to the L&SC Area Contest where the band were placed 7th. Lisa Huttlestone, Band Chairperson, presented Phillip with the award and a special edition Ware Brass Pint Glass !!

Phillip, conducted the band from 2006 to 2017 when he relocated to the Isle of Wight, but came to our rescue 10 weeks ago when he agreed to come back as Musical Director to take the band to the L&SC Area Contest. Commuting 4 hours each way, for 10 weeks is amazing dedication !! Phillip has contributed so much to the band over the last 16 years and this is a truly well deserved award. It’s great to now have Phillip as a life time member.

Ware Brass were pleased to be placed 7th at the L&SC Area Contest at Stevenage on Saturday 19th March 2022. Despite the band being seriously affected by COVID, their performance of Aeronauts by Goff Richards was commended by the adjudicators and secured them 8th place in the overall grading table for the 2nd Section.

The Ware Brass Trombone section of Adrian Ricketts & Jim Munn were awarded with the Prize for Best Trombone section at the L&SC 2nd Section contest at Stevenage on Saturday 19th March 2022. Despite being a player down due to Covid, their performance in Goff Richards – Aeronauts was considered best in Class. Sometimes – less is more !!
