Welcome To The Shanklin Town Brass Band Web Site


Shanklin Town Brass Band was founded in 1993 and is based in Rylstone Chalet,
which can be found in Rylstone Gardens, Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight.

We have a Senior, Youth, Intermediate and a Community Band; the Senior and Youth Bands regularly give concerts locally in Shanklin and in other venues on the Island. 

We also run a dedicated Brass Academy on Saturday Mornings during term time, thus enabling musical education, particularly the playing of brass instruments which are notoriously expensive, to be accessible to as many people as possible.

Our Senior Band competes in the Fourth Section of the National Brass Band Championships and regularly competes at other contests.

The Intermediate Band is our training band for beginners of all ages and abilities.

Dennis Wilby's Book

Dennis Wilby (our former President and now Honorary Vice President) has written his memoirs

The book is available from Amazon and they say:

"Dennis Wilby's career as a professional musician could not have been planned or expected. These memoirs provide an insight into the career of a professional musician and his journey from brass bands to orchestras to big bands and back to brass bands again. These memoirs are full of interesting and amusing anecdotes from the varied stages of his career and journey."
