"East Devon DayTime Band successful 2025 summer season 

The Band performed at 10 venues throughout East Devon and Exeter, from a churchyard to a vineyard, including

local Care Homes, VE Day commemorations, Retirement Homes, Parish Church Fete, Otterton Mill and Ikea Exeter.

At the Dalwood Vineyard Hospiscare Charity event, the band was transported to the playing site amongst the vines for the first time on a trailer pulled by a tractor

 

Under the batons of the Band's regular conductor, Roger Riggs, and guest conductor Taf Liley, the band performed marches and popular brass band arrangements, including Mack the Knife, Edelweiss, Col Bogey and the lovely All in The April Evening, to well-received audiences.

Did you play a musical instrument at school, and would like to join a successful, relaxed and friendly band?  

EDDB rehearses every Wednesday, 10.15 a.m. to 12.15 p.m. at the Sidmouth Rugby Club Pavilion, Byes Road, Sidford.
