Started the band scene in 2001 the crowd and atmosphere used to be unreal beside that silver heron at the time , all bands stopped there to play a tune . Gone are the good aul days

Roughly around that time I stopped. I stopped after 7 full seasons. 2011 for a season and a handful of parades in 2016. But the time is now to boost the scene, the quality of bands is very good at the minute & the crowds in Banbridge on Friday night tells me the people are wakening a little ... I'm confident it'll grow 👌

@@ulsterborn7137 yes the quality is fantastic definitely more learning required before getting a drum slung on these days, hopefully it picks up numbers 🙏🙏

East Belfast bit off more than they could chew when passing bands😢
