Ellesmere Port Concert Brass

Welcome and many thanks for visiting our web site!

We are a traditional brass band which strives to provide quality entertainment for the general public by playing concert music rather than entering contests.

Ellesmere Port Concert Brass (EPCB) is a registered charity raising funds from a number of sources. Fortunately we have received sponsorship over the years from several local employers, for which we are extremely grateful. We ask for a small subscription from members, but payment for playing concerts is by far our biggest income generator.

In the main we play in the Wirral and Merseyside area with excursions into rural Cheshire. We meet weekly on a Thursday evening for practice at Capenhurst Village Hall (Ellesmere Port)

Please navigate the site to find out more about us including our long and proud history as a brass band and also our up to date Events Diary.

Ashton Park 2026

We got our summer underway, even though it is still spring, at West Kirby's Ashton Park on Sunday 10th May. Whilst it was sunny and warm there was a strong breeze which made the canvas of the marquee play it’s own percussive part which didn’t really keep good time with our conductor’s tempo making things a bit tricky for us all. That was only a minor glitch in what was a really enjoyable day. We all played well and the audience were really appreciative. It’s a venue we love coming to.

Click on the video image to hear a couple of extracts from the concert. They were taken by a friend of Mark our first baritone player. Also click on Ashton Park 2026 to see some more photos from the day.
