The Essex Yeomanry Band
Making music for more than 200 years.
The Essex Yeomanry Band, formed in 1809, is one of the oldest military bands in the country. It gives regular public concerts throughout the year and is available to book for private engagements or charity events. They are proud to welcome musicians of a reasonable playing standard ages 16 to 80.
The band continues to have a close relationship with the Essex Yeomanry Regiment and a member of the Regiment acts as our President.
As a result of hard work given by successive Directors of Music and the loyalty of musicians, the band now operates on a self-supporting basis. Members pay an annual subscription towards the band’s upkeep, together with income from concerts. The band plays at occasions ranging from public concerts to garden parties and special events.
