Are there any? My sister would like to start playing again after a fair few years off. She used to play flugel as a kid (20 years ago). She lives in Hartburn near Stockton. Are there any bands near there? I reckon she's been stopped long enough that any instrument would be ok, as she'll only remember the fingering :grnsm If interested, please pm me.
Depending upon what level she'd like to look at, theres Cleveland Police Band (non contesting), Hartlepool Silver (non contesting). Then close by you have Trimdon concert, Billingham silver and Fishburn. If she doesn't mind travelling a bit further we would be happy to welcome her (Murton Colliery). You could also look at Cockerton, GT Group peterlee, Easington , North Skelton and Catterick
