What are people saying about the Festival?

"Severn Hospice has been involved in the Ironbridge Gorge Brass Band Festival since the very beginning and we are very proud to be part of such a wonderful event. The weekend has a truly special atmosphere, created not only by the tremendous performances but also from the sense of warmth and community between the bands and the audience. The Last Night of the Proms concert, in particular, has become a popular part of our annual calendar and is sure to go from strength to strength in its new outdoor venue. The support given to Severn Hospice by the Festival Committee, the weekend volunteers and the bands has made a real difference to our services in the local area and we look forward to working together for many years to come."

2011 was the first time I've been to the Ironbridge Brass Band Festival  and it won't be the last!
It was organised well and had a wonderful atmosphere ! The entertainment was first class , and even  the horrible weather couldn't keep people away .
It was very clear how much hard work had gone into this event , and what a brilliant job staff did!
Well done to all involved for the  success of the event and for raising the incredible amount of money for such a worthy cause the Severn hospice !
You should be very proud of you achievement , and all the best for a bigger and better festival next year :)

We have attended this event for the last 2 years and both years we have never been disappointed
The organiser’s of the event really put in some hard work and effort to maintain the standards of this event.
The look of the event, this year, was fantastic and the experience of the band members shone through
as beautiful notes of brass instruments carried through the air.
All tastes were catered for in the food stands and the atmosphere was electric.
Parking wasn't an issue as the organisers had laid on free parking at a close by off site venue and provided
a free bus to and from the event.
What a fabulous day.
