Chester Wind Band
The Chester Wind Band is a community band based on the outskirts of Chester, under the direction of Mr Neil Bardsley-Watson.
We have been entertaining audiences and offering local musicians a fantastic opportunity to develop their musical talents and share their passion for music for over 40 years.
The band performs a varied repertoire of music at its own concerts as well as at a number of private and public events each year. As a community band, we are open to musicians of all ages and abilities seeking a fun and enjoyable atmosphere to create music.
If you’re a musician looking to grow your skills, connect with others, and share your love of music then please get in touch!
Rehearsals
We rehearse on Mondays (7pm – 8.45pm) during term time at Blacon High School with occasional rehearsals during school holidays.
Bookings
The band is available for bookings and we can offer smaller ensembles if the main band is too large for your requirements.
If you would like to book the band or would like more information, please just get in touch!
