As you will have gathered from our main page, we are a group of local musicians from the south-west of Northern Ireland who meet weekly in Enniskillen. We are the only concert band in the county but the region is well-known for having lots of bands of all kinds. We are a fully independent group with committee members elected from among our players to look after the band's business. Our members include adults and students from all walks of life so our age-range covers many decades!
So where do we play? Enniskillen, Kesh, Irvinestown, Florencecourt, Necarne, Lisnaskea . . . we've also played in Sligo, Belfast, Holywood, Ballycastle and for many clients such as councils, voluntary bodies, the Circuit of Ireland, The National Trust, Queen's University, The Hawks Well and Ardhowen Theatres, to name but some.

ABOUT OUR PATRONS | John WallaceJohn Wallace was principal trumpet with the Philharmonia Orchestra for two decades before becoming an internationally renowned soloist and leader of his own brass ensemble, 'The Wallace Collection'. With this ensemble he gained world-wide recognition, touring and recording extensively. In 2002 he was honoured as having made the most outstanding contribution to orchestral life in the UK and returned to this Scottish roots as Principal of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. | Sir James GalwaySir James Galway started his illustious career playing the penny whistle, long before he switched to the flute. A native of Belfast, Sir James played in many bands not entirely dissimilar to this one before embarking on a professional career. Two principal positions earned him an international reputation, those with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the famous Berlin 'Phil'. Since then he has gained a huge international following and in 2001 was knighted for his services to music. |
