Snowdown Colliery Band was formed in 1926 with the original
membership consisting entirely of miners from the nearby
colliery. Despite the closure of the pit, the band has
continued to play, maintaining it's links and roots with the former
mining community. The band presently consists of
approximately 30 players and although only one is an ex-miner,
other members are descendants of miners who previously played in
the band.
They are a friendly self-supporting organisation who perform at
various functions throughout the year, often in
partnership with Snowdown Male Voice Choir.
New players are welcome and the band practices every Wednesday
night at 7.30pm in the Welfare Club (New Club), Dorman Avenue
South, Aylesham.
