National Band Championships of Ireland is Cancelled     

The National Band Championships of Ireland has cancelled its 2021 event. Kevin Teers, IABCB Competition Secretary stated, "It is with regret that we are announcing the cancellation of the Championships due to be held in April.

This will probably come as little surprise given the current restrictions in place and the inability of bands to rehearse and perform together. We look forward to hopefully being able to run the 2022 event and welcoming bands back again."

Organisers hope to announce details of their 2021 online solo competition soon and following the huge success of last year's event they hope it will be even bigger and better.
