In Autumn 2021, Mullingar Town Band launched our Community Adult Concert Band.

The aim for this ensemble is to encourage adult musicians of varying standards to join together to play music, learn, socialise and have fun. This group meets every 2 weeks, on Wednesday nights 7.15 – 9.30pm.

"I hadn't played in over 20 years. It really does come back to you again quite quickly."
