Based in Gloucester, Flowers Band rose rapidly up the Championship Section ladder in 1986 where it has since established itself in the top 10 of the Brass Band World rankings table. The band was recently delighted to prequalify for the 2023 National Brass Band Championships, to be held in October 2023. With Paul Holland as Musical Director, the band has recorded several CDs, appeared on BBC One’s Songs of Praise and records regularly for Radio 2’s Listen To The Band.
