Westoe Band members are a dedicated group of musicians and very welcoming of new players.
The band rehearse Tuesday evenings 7:30 till 9:30 and Sunday evenings 7:00 - 9:00 with the intention of producing the best possible performances both in the band room and public.
If you are local to South Tyneside or moving to the North East, perhaps starting University in Newcastle and want to continue your banding do contact us and come along for a blow.
We are currently looking for a Bb Bass Player to complete our line-up for the National Finals in September.
Whatever, you play if you want to join us for a rehearsal - you're welcome.

As part of our celebrations we are planning a reunion for any former members of the Colliery Bands of Harton and Westoe. So far our oldest known former member is Tom Young who played in the Harton Colliery Junior Band in 1945.
If you played in one of the now defunct bands in South Tyneside you're also welcome to attend. Even if you are living far away now and are unlikely to be able to join us do get in touch. Depending on the response we will update our band history section. Ideally, it would be great to have the line up for the band in 1990 going back as many decades as possible, If you have any information do Contact Westoe Band
