THE East Grinstead Concert Band – which also plays under the banner of the Bluebell Railway Band – is relaunching its website today at www.egcb.co.uk

The easy navigable design includes much more information about the band’s upcoming engagements, with pictures and video clips.

The website also has information for anyone interested in joining the band (new members are always welcome), booking them for a function, sponsoring them or making a financial donation to their funds.

The EGCB will be celebrating their 40th birthday this year with a trip to Ypres in October, to mark the centennial of the start of WWI.

They will play a series of concerts in Bruges and Ypres, culminating with a performance of the Last Post Ceremony at the world-famous Menin Gate.

The Last Post has been played there every night since the end of the War to remember the hundreds of thousands of men who marched out of the town to the Front and didn’t come back.
