Newmilns & Galston Brass Band

Newmilns and Galston Brass Band is the oldest surviving brass band in Scotland. The old Newmilns Burgh Band was formed in 1833 by a group of handloom weavers and had many successes over the years in regional and national competitions. In Galston, the band started as a reed band in 1872 promoted by the Gauchalland Coal Company, but within a few years had converted to brass as the Galston Burgh Band. It too had a long and successful life, but in 1990 both Irvine Valley bands amalgamated and soon regained their status as one of the country's leading bands.

Currently graded in the First Section of the national championships, the band fulfills local engagements as well as competing regularly in contests maintaining a long musical tradition within the Irvine Valley.

The Band is always looking for new ideas and people to get involved. If you are interested, or know anyone who might be interested, then please feel free to contact the band at newmilnsgalstonband@hotmail.co.uk.

The band is also always on the lookout for new players, again if you're interested or just want some information about the band, then please contact us at the above address.

Band practices are on Wednesday evenings 7.30pm - 9.30pm and Sunday evenings 7pm - 9pm in the Band Hall, Galston.
