From Wingates to the World Music Contest!

Wingates Band are honoured to have accepted a place at the World Music Contest in Kerkrade, Netherlands this Summer. The World Music Contest (WMC) happens once every four years, and Wingates are one a handful of British Bands invited to make the trip. It is huge honour for us to represent Bolton and Britain on the International Stage, competing against some of the finest ensembles the world has to offer!

Be Part of the Journey

It is expensive to get a brass band to the Netherlands! As a result, we are currently fundraising to enable us to get closer.

This is where you come in.

Donations

Every donation — whether it’s the price of a coffee or something bigger — helps us get one step closer to that stage in Kerkrade.
