The Bands

The Family Service Band

This is an adult group that uses a basic rock band line-up, with some additional instruments. Most of the instruments are electronic which gives the music a specific flavour. They perform on a regular basis at the Family Service, which takes place on the first Sunday of every month in the church hall. Their style of playing perfectly complements the more informal style of worship used at this service. In addition to the Family Services, there are many other opportunities in the church’s liturgical and social calendar to hear this band play.

The Encounter Band

Although set up to accompany the Encounter Services which take place on the third Sunday of each month in the church hall, the Encounter Band is rapidly developing and taking on additional roles in the musical life of the church. There are plans for them to join together with the Junior Choir for special services, as well as to bring them into musical worship in the church more frequently than in the past.

This band is mostly made up of older children and young adults, therefore the instrumentation is quite varied and flexible.
