Our Summer celebrations featured ELCBFest, in partnership with St Dunstan's,
on Saturday 8 June 2024.
Billed as a 'mini-Glastonbury' open to the whole community, the all-day event featured performances by ELCB ensembles showcasing our percussion, jazz, premier band, concert band, big band, jazz combo and Early Music groups. The festival was an opportunity to build connections within the community and across musical groups and we were proud to host guest groups including Swing Dance UK, Corsican Brass, Udichi Bengali Dance, Phill and the John Bennett Band.
ELCBFest also had an outreach and recruitment objective through the 'Make Some Noise' children's area where young people were invited to try out percussion with a view to joining our subsidised percussion group in September and embark on their music-making journey through East London Community Band.
In addition to the musical programme ELCBFest included: a Pimm's counter from The Peacock Pub, Blue Daisy coffee stall, food stalls, 'social media photo opp' area, ELCB information and merchandise stall, and local community group stalls. Who needs Glastonbury, when there's ELCBFest?
