Fulham Brass pride itself on keeping the genre of brass band music free and accessible to all. We regularly welcome new players from around the UK (and indeed, the world!) to come and play with us - sometimes as one offs whilst players may be passing through London and other times more regularly. In November the band welcomed Brent Connan (Percussion) from Jersey, Louise Harrison (Euphonium) from Lancashire, Bronwyn Marshall (Euphonium) from New Zealand, Aled Daniels (Euphonium) from Wales all as extra regular members of the band.
