Eagle-eyed visitors to the website will see from the Players page that we have started to put on some player profiles and pictures of the band.
In the time that this intrepid reporter has been with the band, we've never been this close to having a full band full time, which is brilliant. Soon, thanks to Josh Hughes, our soprano cornet player, we will have profiles of the players and other people essential to making the running of Besses possible.

We are hoping to build up a page (or two...!) with details of past Besses players and what they are now up to. Drop us a line at

Besses are getting into the swing of their summer season following two concerts in Prestwich. They followed up a scorching concert in St Mary's Park with a sensational Broadway concert for Prestwich festival which left many audience members visibly moved. Chair Matthew Bailey said, "The band is playing the best it has for some years. Under our new conductor Jonathan Lo, we're really entertaining people and I'm excited for the summer ahead."
As well as various jobs around the area, Besses' next concert is this Sunday June 6th at Radcliffe Civic Hall. Starting at 2:30pm, the band will join forces with the Affetside Choir for the ever-popular "Brass and Voices" afternoon. Tickets are priced at £6 and available at the hall or on the door.
