Music is our first love....


The band have recorded two Compact Discs to date. These were professionally recorded at our home; St Francis of Assisi Church, Fairlop. The church has perfect acoustics and the quality of the recordings make both CD’s well worth a listen to anyone who loves the nostalgic warmth and emotional charm of Brass Band music.


Although we are a small band with a large following, we only produced a limited amount of discs, and re-issues are highly unlikely. Therefore the disks in existence are a slice of Fairlop History.....
