The band broke up in 1999, and the brief emergence of Thames Brass from the ashes was also, sadly, short-lived.
Thames Brass - Formed in 1999 from the ashes of Runnymede Brass, but only lasted a year or two. In 1999, Thames Brass won the Second Section of the London & Southern Counties Regional Contest under Paul Norley, with Egham Band coming second.
