Karen

The band is on a pause as one of our founder members, Karen Coldrick, died recently. We are devastated and have chosen not to play at all during the month of October.
Karen was a lovely, kind, beautiful, talented, enthusiastic member of our band and her death has affected us all deeply.
There is a tribute page for Karen.

Stroud Red Band

The Stroud Red Band

We are an extension of the London Big Red Band, which has been in existence since the 1980s. Like them we play music from the heritage of the labour, socialist and international solidarity movements. We play at demonstrations, marches and benefits when we can.

We try to be as open as possible - no auditions, and no political correctness test. If you like the music and are in sympathy with our aims, we'd love to have you.

This is our Statement of Principles.

Vidoes from this year's Red Line for Gaza and Horns on Horns Road.
The band had the great honour of playing at the head of the procession for the funeral of John Marjoram. Here are a few of the videos taken that day.
