It was the band's first appearance at Knaresborough Castle and, despite the occasional inclement burst of precipitation, we entertained the gathered crowds well with a programme including Bruce Jackson's march 'Eboracum' and our new finale 'The Lone Ar-ranger'.

DEVELOPMENT BAND - New Absolute Beginners Sessions

It is with great pleasure that the Golden Rail Band has set up a new "Absolute Beginners' Session" aimed at any newcomer that would like to learn a brass instrument. It can be extremely daunting to simply start in a band on a foreign instrument, so the absolute beginner sessions is aimed to work on basic brass playing skills in a friendly and relaxed manner. 

This session is open to all beginners young and old that would like to take part in this opportunity. The sessions will take place on Wednesdays at 6.00pm down at the York RI Band Room.
