Le groupe joue des morceaux classiques, populaires, et notamment les morceaux spécifiquement écrits pour brass band. |
Three English brass players, who were missing the sound of the traditional British brass band, started to play together at Christmas 2007. They enjoyed it so much that they decided to invite their French and British colleagues to join them in the formation of a brass band. “Just Brass 79” is the result. The brass band is gaining in popularity in France, but there are still less than 30, whereas there are more than 900 registered in the UK. There is a very popular contest (French Open) held every year at the beginning of June in Amboise (37 Indre et Loire). For competitions a brass band has a standard line-up with 25 players and up to 3 percussion. Our instruments are brass, naturally, and include cornets and trumpets, trombones, basses, horns, euphoniums and baritones. Currently Just Brass 79 has 19 members and welcomes any new brass players! We are based in Limalonges (79) and rehearse every Wednesday evening 20h00 in the Salle des Fetes. Our band plays a mixture of pieces from the classics, pop, and in particular pieces specifically composed for brass band. |
