‘Everyone is welcome to our Folk Club whether you sing, tell stories, play an instrument or just want to listen to live music and have a bit of fun - alternate Sunday nights at the Falcon. We have occasional guest nights, when we enjoy talented people who tour the country; but on most of our evenings we make the music and fun ourselves. We enjoy each other's company, play music together, listen to each other sing ... Come along and meet us.’

‘Membershipis at present as inclusive as the current Band Hall facility allows. We do not discriminate on grounds of age, ability, sex, ethnicity, religion or income, and welcome all who wish to maintain, improve/develop their interaction with music, as part of the local community. Band membership is entirely free, and this includes access to instruments, music, uniforms, tutorage and the use of the
Band Hall itself during supervised opening times ... We are pro-active in our mission to take music into the community, regularly holding taster session at schools to encourage active involvement and membership ... We continue to strive to be an influencing and engaging part of Bude, and seek to do so through the presentation of public concerts and recitals.‘

'Formed in the early 1890s. During the Second World War the Band disbanded due to members being called for active service and becoming part of the Home Guards. The reformation of Hartland Town Band as we know it today was in early 1960 ... The Band can be heard, twice weekly, rehearsing in the St. Johns Arts and Music Centre, as well as at various events and concerts throughout the year. Encouraging the "future generations" to carry forward the brass band tradition in the village is important to the Band: there is a small Training Band who meet weekly and we are always willing to welcome new members.'
