Lewisham Concert Band

The Lewisham Concert Band is one of London’s top community wind bands, comprising both professional and high-standard amateur musicians. Founded in 1967 and conducted for many years by the late Joseph Proctor, the Lewisham Concert Band soon found fame for its numerous BBC Radio 2 broadcasts during the '70s and '80s on Friday Night is Music Night and Listen to the Band. Today, under the musical direction of John Hargreaves, the band performs throughout the year, both in formal concert settings and summer bandstands and festivals.
