Wishing a very Happy New Year to all of our supporters, followers, friends and of course players. There were a few fuzzy heads in the Liss Band House after the new year celebrations, let’s hope for some clear heads at our first rehearsal of the year at Hillbrow, Liss on Wednesday 7th January at 7pm.We are always on the lookout for new players, whether returning to playing or tooting at home, don’t miss out on the opportunity to play with others, it really is a lot of fun. Let us know by DM if you are interested in coming along to a rehearsal and seeing what we are all about.We all look forward to seeing you at an event in the new year. Watch this space for details of events throughout the year. 🥂🥂🎺🎺Please like and share…. … See MoreSee Less

Come along and take part in the audience’s Carol choice game, always a winner with the congregation, we will play your favorite Carol upon request, all you have to do is enjoy it and sing along, don’t worry it isn’t a solo slot…We have a cracking programme of prepared pieces, covering many genres for your pleasure and delight. A 6:00pm start guarantees an early finish, you’ll be back home by 7:30 so don’t let the fact that it is Saturday night put you off. It isn’t even the ‘Strictly’ final so you can’t use that excuse!!We would love to see you there, no entry fee, seasonal refreshments, collection on the door to be split between St Mary’s and Liss Band, just to cover our costs on the night.Please like and share, see you there!🎼🎺🎺🍷🎄 … See MoreSee Less

About Us


Liss Band is a friendly brass band based in the village of Liss in Hampshire. Founded in 1974 it is proud to be at the heart of the local community.

At present the band has 35 members covering a wide range of ages; however the band is always on the lookout for new players. It performs a regular series of concerts throughout the year ranging from summer afternoon fetes to evening concerts.

The Band was formed in 1974 by the Head and Deputy Head teachers of Liss Junior School out of a desire to give the young Brass players leaving the school a way to continue their musical development.  Incredibly, 2 members of the current Band played at the very first rehearsal!  Over the following years, the Band went from strength to strength, developing quickly and growing its membership across a range of age groups.  During it’s 50 years, highlights include; concerts at Cathedrals, on the Thames, performances in Denmark, Germany and France, Weddings (including Band members) and numerous Brass Band competitions.  However, the Band has always maintained the core of its activities in Liss and the surrounding area, representing the village with pride at many events such as Remembrance Sunday.

2024 was a special year for Liss Band with highlights including a reception for the Band by the Liss Parish Council, a band trip to Devon to take part in a huge Brass Band Festival called Bandemonium and a 50th Anniversary concert on Nov 2nd at the Petersfield Festival Hall.  On top of that, the first official history of the Band was authored by one of our longest serving players.

Training Section


Liss Band’s training section is currently a group of musicians of all different playing abilities.

They are also guided by other players from the main band who volunteer their time to help players progress with the aim of moving up to the main band.

The training section often perform during concerts with the main band to help give players the experience of performing to an audience.

Rehearsals take place in term time every Wednesday evening from 06:00pm – 07:15pm. The training section is invited every Wednesday evening to play with the main band from 07:00pm – 07:15pm to give them the chance to play with more experienced players. 

Players of all ages who are currently learning or have previously learnt the basics are welcome so please contact us if you would like to join us.
