A huge well done to Poppy Taylor from all at Freckleton Band, who at just 13 years of age and already a member of the National Children’s Orchestra, has just accepted an offer to join the Hallé Youth Orchestra.
It is a tremendous achievement and one which will offer her many fantastic experiences over the coming years.
Freckleton Band were delighted to play alongside the Lancashire Youth Band at St Thomas’s church in St Annes on Saturday 14th July, as part of the “Brass at the Seaside” festival organised by Lancashire Music Hub. Both bands played separate programmes before the final three massed band pieces. It was lovely to listen to the Lancashire Youth Band and to share a stage with them.
As part of the same festival, Freckleton Youth Band played on the bandstand at the pier in St Annes on Sunday afternoon. The sunshine brought out a fantastic audience and the Youth Band were very well received.
Freckleton Band will be having a joint concert with the Lancahsire Youth Brass Band at St Thomas’s Church, St Anne’s this coming Saturday – 14th July. Why not come along and listen to the fabulous selection of music.
Doors open at 7PM for a 7:30 start.
There will also be many other musical events throughout the weeked if you are looking for something to do. Take a look at the programme here.
We have now added a Video Gallery to the Freckleton Band website.
For anybody looking for something to do this coming Sunday – which is promising to be another scorcher – why not come up to Happy Mount Park in Morecambe and listen to the band.
We will be playing there at 2:30PM for a couple of hours as part of the Brass Band season of concerts that they hold every summer. Don’t forget to bring a chair so that you can enjoy the music in comfort. Maybe bring a picnic and make a day of it!

On Sunday 17th July Freckleton Youth Band entertained the crowds at Bush Lane Playing Fields in Freckleton while the annual half marathon and fun run took place.
Several of the players took part in the fun run first – thankfully they weren’t too out of breath to then play in the band!
The weather was kind to us in the end and the band thoroughly enjoyed playing to the village.
Congratulations to John Mason who won the half marathon, completing it in an amazing 67 minutes.
We’re already looking forward to next year.
With Freckleton Club Day just around the corner on June 16th, the band is looking forward to marching around Freckleton on what we hope is a beautiful sunny day.
This is always the highlight of the year for the village of Freckleton as the whole community gets together to enjoy the festivities.
This is followed on Sunday (17th of June) by the Freckleton Half marathon. Here you will be able to listen to our Youth band playing their annual concert. We will be playing at around 2 PM on Bush Lane Playing Fields as the Half Marathon and then the Fun Run set off.
