2020
Whilst the current and ongoing situation prohibits our bands from rehearsing or performing publicly, we shall continue to list events and delete them only when the performance date has expired.
Shipston Town Bands would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to our many supporters and organisations that have engaged us in the past and hope that we can once again enjoy meeting our many audiences and band members again in the near future when we are once again able to perform.
We sincerely hope this message finds you all well and staying safe in this difficult and distressing time.
