Hello everyone! I am brassbandmaestro, who some of you may know from the R3 messageboards. I came across this quite by accident.
I am an active amateur musician, who regularly meets up for weekly rehersals at band once a week down in the Brighton area. Ive been involved in music making since I was 9. I am now 51!! Hopefully I will have a good time here.

Welcome bbm,
Very nice to have someone post a hello! Hope you have fun here, and learn, and meet friends, and .... well whatever will make for a good time.
Perfect Wagnerite is a Brighton-er, I believe, so maybe say hi there.

Well, a Patcham-er actually - we like to look back to the days when we were a separate little village nestling under the downs, before we got swallowed up by our racier seaside neighbours  Welcome brassbandmaestro - hope you enjoy it here, it's a fun and friendly place. |

A most warm welcome, brassbandmaestro.
I've been trying to recall the lyrics from "Sweet Charity" "I'm a brassband, I'm a harpsichord, I'm a clarinet....that's me!"

A hearty welcome, brassbandmaestro! Although I only play for my neighbour's torment these days, I was a sometime Repiano Cornet player in my youth There are quite a few other present or lapsed brass-players here, so you are in good company And not all of us have leather jackets, motorbikes or moustaches |

Ah yes - presumably you were playing to save Brighton Bandstand ....  (not a particularly flattering picture) Nice to find someone who is both a brass player (I'm afraid I fall into the lapsed category, having played the horn in my younger days) and who has a connection with the village |
