An Isle of Wight brass band has launched its own YouTube channel to meet increasing demand from fans who are unable to attend live concerts.
Abbey Brass, which formed 4 years ago, has built a loyal following across the Isle of Wight.
Now, the band is expanding its reach by uploading performance videos to YouTube.
Phillip Littlemore, Musical Director, has said:
“Abbey Brass has built up quite a following amongst islanders since its formation four years ago. The band’s active group of supporters cannot always make it to our concerts and we have been experimenting with Facebook Live with some success.
“Now we have begun videoing our performances to create content for our new YouTube channel. Our most recent concert at the prestigious Quarr Abbey, with its wonderful acoustics, has provided a great opportunity to get the channel up and running.”
The channel aims to make the band’s music more accessible and provide regular content for both local supporters and brass band enthusiasts beyond the Isle of Wight.
