Don’t miss this rare chance to hear the region’s finest band, Friary Guildford, on a rare trip to Gloucestershire for a concert in the prestigious Stroud Subscription Rooms’ Brass Season.
With a varied programme featuring numbers from the programme awarded ‘Most Entertaining’ at this year’s Butlin’s contest, a classic brass band test piece in Tallis Variations and stunning solos from some of the band’s principal players, there really will be something for everyone.
Join the number one band in London and the Southern Counties for an evening of festive entertainment.
All proceeds go to the church’s 2020 fund which helps to maintain and keep the buildings open for the whole community.

Our Spring Contest is moving to a new venue and date in 2020!
The new date – 8th March – gives bands an ideal opportunity to run their set test pieces out ahead of the Regional qualifying contest, and our section structure and relaxed registration rules open the contest up to Ungraded and Youth bands too.
The new venue – the Attenborough Centre – is a purpose-built performing arts facility on the University of Sussex campus, close to the seaside town of Brighton and beautiful parkland. More info can be found on the ACCA Website
Watch the contesting page of this website and follow #scabaSpring20 for updates and entry forms which will be published in December.
