About us

Musical Director:

Mrs Deborah Hill

Deborah studied music at Leeds College of Music for 5 years, going on to teach music at a Birmingham secondary school and later as a peripatetic instrumental teacher. She also has 2½ years experience conducting another brass band.

Aims of the Band:

Cleator Moor Brass aims to provide musical entertainment for the general public in and around the West Cumbria area.

The Players:

We are a mixed age group ranging from 10 years to over 70 years. We are of mixed playing ability, but we all strive at all times to achieve the best musical standard and we all gain much satisfaction and pleasure from playing in the band in public performances.

Practice Nights:

We practice on Monday and Thursday evenings at St John’s Church, Cleator Moor (next to Cleator Moor Co-op) from 7pm to 9pm and we welcome anyone who would like to come and join us. For directions see here

If you have never played before and would like to learn just come along to a practice evening, have a listen and see what you think!

Alternatively, if you have played in the past (some of us have taken up playing again after 20 to 30 years rest!) and you would like to take up playing again, don’t be scared, just come along to one of our practice nights and have a listen and a chat you will be made most welcome.

Concerts and Events:

If you are organising an event where you would like to us come and play or would like us to perform a concert at your chosen venue, simply get in touch either using the contact details at the foot of the page or use the contact us page, we will endeavour to get back to you within 48 hours. We do not charge for our performances but a donation to our funds is always gratefully appreciated.

We practice on Monday and Thursday evenings at St John’s Church, Cleator Moor from 7pm to 9pm and we welcome anyone who would like to come and join us, either to learn to play or if you want to take up playing again, just come along to one of our practice nights. You will be made most welcome.
