The Youth Band was formed in autumn 2010 as a part of Werneth Concert Band. It aims to get young people involved in making music as part of a group. The conductor is Alan Cottrill and the administrator Jane Cottrill. Both hold full CRB checks from Stockport MBC. Alan has twenty-seven years experience working for Manchester Music Service organizing, teaching, taking bands and ensembles. He now teaches brass at Bredbury Green Primary School. Jane is a Primary School teacher and teaches both woodwind and brass. Both are long term members of Werneth Concert Band.

The band meets every Friday during term time at the Overdale Centre / Bredbury Green and Goyt Valley Children’s Centre, Powicke Drive, Romiley SK6 3EF, from 6.30 p.m. to 8.15 p.m. Click here for a map and here for rehearsal dates.
