The Lydney Band organisation runs three levels of musicians:
Lydney Starter Band (beginners), Lydney Training Band (more experienced players) and Lydney Town Band.
The Band's success is founded on encouraging, teaching and mentoring new players, both young and older,
bringing in new ideas and enthusiasm to create a fun, musical, band organisation.
The Lydney Band organisation provides expert tutoring and mentoring through Associated Board Music
Examinations (ABRSM) and we have a 100% pass rate with over 60% achieving the top grade of ’Distinction’.
Our training is available for everyone irrespective of age!
The band is self supporting and is funded by donations and appropriate grant applications
which help us purchase and maintain instruments and purchase music.
All rehearsals take place in The Bandroom, Swan Lane, Lydney GL15 5RU
