'It was always a constitutional rule that FFC would try its very hardest to be totally non-elitist and encourage everyone to come along, regardless of age, experience or ability. There are no auditions to join and people drop in and out of the group according to their own priorities. We have a constant core of about 30 players and we play about 3 concerts per year, raising monies for local charities or deserving causes ... Our repertoire is highly eclectic – anything goes here – film scores, TV tunes, standard classical repertoire, Jazz and much, much more. We try hard to please everyone – it’s not always possible, but we do our best!'

'Has been around for well over 100 years and is still thriving. With a strong contingent of players from Pillowell and surrounding areas along with a fast growing junior band the future of brass in this corner of the forest looks bright indeed. Affectionately known as The Stompers when they were formed due to the popular nature of the music played the band still enjoys a reputation for entertainment and can often be heard playing in the local pub garden (at our sponsors "The Rising Sun, Moseley Green") where the crowds flock in on a Sunday evening. The band also regularly performs on Bandstands from Malvern to Evesham as well as in concert halls and regular contest appearances.'

‘Scarr Bandstand lies in a natural amphitheatre,  surrounded by the woodland of the Forest of Dean.  It is an ideal and unusual venue for outdoor summer events such as concerts, fetes and activity days.  After falling into disuse in the late 1980s, the Scarr Bandstand is now being restored, thanks to support from the Foresters’ Forest Landscape partnership, the Heritage Lottery Fund and the West Dean Parish Council and is available again for community events. Close to the ancient market town of Coleford, Scarr Bandstand lies on the outskirts of a hamlet called Sling, on land now run by the Forestry Commission.’
