About the Band

Hellesdon and Sprowston Brass Band was originally called the Norwich Lads Club Band, with of our current players having joined them in 1952 as a teenager!

In the late 1970s, the Norwich Lads Club Band then became Sprowston Band, remaing so until 2004 when it merged with the Enterprise Band, which rehearsed at Hellesdon Community Centre – therefore becoming Hellesdon and Sprowston Brass Band.

Today, we perform at bandstands, holiday parks, fetes, birthdays, church services, markets and concerts all around Norwich and Norfolk.

In June 2025 we teamed up with Norfolk Wherry Brass to perform together at events across the summer and are looking forward to what the future holds for both bands!

Why not come along to one of our gigs? We’d love to see you. Find out where we’re performing.
