A brass band brings a certain pomp and ceremony to events that most other music styles can't deliver. And with a repertoire of thousands of pieces of music, High Society is one brass band that can just about perform anything - just ask - the band is happy to take on any challenge! With music covered by string quartets, jazz bands film scores or more formal music, High Society can provide the perfect atmosphere for any event.

The players have been together since 1995 and are all exceptionally qualified in their field. Between them they have won the Young Musician of the Year back in 1980, studied at the Royal College of Music and performed regularly with London show orchestras.

Geoff freelances as a tuba player with orchestras and other ensembles in the South East and is currently studying for a music degree.2nd Trumpet - Tim studied trumpet at the Royal College of Music.
