Live at the Bandstand Summer Programme 2025

Sat 6 September Windsor Fringe (2pm-8pm)
Windsor Bandstand Takeover is in its second year and is running two all-day open-access free-entry events this summer.  They are run entirely by their own volunteers, many of whom play in the bands themselves. The Windsor Fringe Festival Committee have enabled the team to partner with the Friends of the Libraries and this year the focus is on self-penned original songwriting bands and soloists from the Berkshire area.
Enjoy performances from Punk Dylan, Vinna Bee, The Apiary and Aleena.

Sat 13 September 2025 Barnes Concert Band
Barnes Concert Band was formed in the 1970s by a small group of local residents in Barnes, South West London and is celebrating 50 years of community music making with special events during 2025.  There are now 50 very committed amateur players of all ages playing in a traditional concert band with woodwind, brass and percussion sections.  The repertoire spans classical music, big band, musicals and compositions for concert band by contemporary composers such as Adam Gorb and Nigel Hess.  Under the baton of our Musical Director and former Welsh Guards clarinetist, Daryle Lowden, we are delighted to make a return visit to Alexandra Park in Windsor to entertain with toe-tapping music for a summer’s afternoon.
