Charity concert a big success!

On Saturday 15th October Hangleton put on a very special charity concert with a local choir called Brighton Voices. The concert was the idea of Rebecca Canneaux (second baritone) and her family to show thanks and to raise money for Guys and St Thomas Hospitals in London. Rebecca's niece, Summer (pictured) was born with stage 4 chronic renal failure and 3 holes in her heart. At just 2 weeks old she had open heart surgery at the Evelina Childrens Hospital at Guys and St Thomas to close the holes in her heart and will need a kidney transplant in the future. At present Summer is doing well but still has to visit the Evalina Children’s Hospital once a month.

The concert was well received by the audience who were treated to a mixture of brass band and choir music. The concert concluded with a joint performance of Mr Blue Sky and Somebody to Love.

All the money raised by the concert tickets, cake sale and a half time game was donated to the hospital charity.

 

The Hangleton Band rehearses at Hangleton Junior School, Dale View, Hove, on Friday evenings.
Youth Band 6:00pm - 7:30pm , Senior Band- 7:45pm - 9:45pm.

The Hangleton Brass Band

The Hangleton Band is an active, modern, brass band based in Hangleton, on the outskirts of the city of Brighton and Hove, in Sussex, England, UK. We have both an active Senior and Youth Band and take our membership from a wide cross section of the local community. There are currently around 80 members, some of whom play in both bands, with a group of young learners constantly feeding into the Youth Band, which alone has 50 members

We are the only brass band in the City of Brighton and Hove with charitable status and operate as a single entity with all proceeds from fundraising, concerts and subscriptions being spent on the band, rather than being targeted at any individuals or sections. We have a large repertoire of music with anything from Mozart to Miller to Mercury!

Historically, the policy of the Hangleton Band is to provide an instrument and tuition for any child who wants to learn, giving them the opportunity to learn without the cost of having to buy an instrument (which can be very expensive, sometimes costing up to several thousand pounds!)

Many members of the Hangleton Senior Band give up their time and energies to teach the learners and help the youngsters in the Youth Band.

Youth players range from 8 year old beginners to 18 year old grade 8 musicians, while the Senior Band ranges from talented 13 year olds to an age when it is impolite to be specific!

The Hangleton Band is currently a SCABA (Southern Counties Amateur Bands Association) second section band and competes in the Third Section nationally (promoted 2002).

We play a range of concerts over the year for our own stalwart supporters, and for different audiences in the immediate locality and around the county.

Alternatively, if you are interested in booking us to play at your event, please contact our Band Manager, Rachel Taylor.
