Local Bands

• Established in 1994, Loughborough Students Concert Band is well known in the local area for its high standard of playing and lively approach to performing. It consists of about 40 enthusiastic members from Loughborough university and colleges, as well as members of the community, and has a professional conductor, Mr Trevor Lax. Trevor is Assistant Director of Music and co-ordinator of instrumental studies at Loughborough Grammar School, and is an examiner for the Guildhall School of Music. He has conducted the Loughborough Students Concert Band since its formation. The bands repertoire is very diverse and ranges from the traditional to the modern. Each year the band takes part in the National Concert Band Festival and has achieved gold, silver and bronze awards. In its current state, the band was formed at the beginning of the academic year, and has just performed in a joint concert with 2 other local conert bands on 13th May. The band rehearses every Tuesday evening from 7.30-9.00pm throughout term at the Music Centre, next to Towers Hall. All new members are welcome, no matter what standard.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
