BFBS Forces News talk with our Musicians

The Brigade of Gurkhas is home to a singular band, a unique ensemble where members volunteer from any Gurkha regiment to take on the secondary role of musician.

Unlike other British Army bands, where musicians often have formal training, the members of the Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas start their musical careers from scratch.

Balancing their musical training with their primary military duties, these dedicated soldiers come together just a few times each year to practise their repertoire.
