About Us

About St John's Band (Mossley)

St John's is a welcoming organization that houses our 4th Section Band, Training, and Beginner band, creating a sense of family for all participants.


Our bands are all located at the Yorkshire Ward in Mossley, where we engage in various fundraising events and host some of our social gatherings.


The main band practices on Tuesday & Thursday evenings from 8:15pm to 10pm. Both the Beginner and Training Bands have sessions before the main band's rehearsal. The Training Band meets on Thursdays from 7:15pm to 8pm, and the Beginner Band on Tuesdays from 7pm to 8pm. Participants are welcome to stay, listen or participate in some of the Main Band Rehearsals.


Players of all skill levels are welcome as training is provided for those who are new to playing.


If you are interested in joining any of our bands, please get in touch with us either by email at secretary@stjohnsband.co.uk, through our Facebook page, or by calling our secretary, Catherine Jones, at 07947 808 492.
