2009 - The Year of the band.
Well as January comes to a close the band starts up for an exciting year ahead, this year being very important for the band as 2009 marks the 25th Anniversary Of Sean McIlvenna’s death and also we are also pleased to announce the 10th year of us being on the road!
Last Year:
Well firstly, What a year it has been! Last year was great for the band, we seen some great success in functions that we did across Scotland including new places such as Denny, Alloa and Livingston. Once again we traveled to Ireland on regular occasions visiting Belfast, Armagh and Bawnmore in particular for there fantastic festival in late August. Unfortunately late September, Stevie Lang, Our Colour Party Sergeant did pass away although our thoughts are with his family through these times.
10 Years On The Road!:
It’s a milestone for the band and a priveledge and its thanks to the members of the band past and present who have made this happen. We have been successful in many areas and also produced two CD’s and DVD’s over the years.
This year we will be attending more parades and functions than ever before and continuing to raise funds for the band and for Cairde na hEireann and ultimately raising the profile of Sean. The band aims to attend several new areas aswell as visiting places like Dunloy for the 25th Anniversary of Vols. Martin & Hogan.
New Members:
We have also had a great intake of new members young and old with the age limit being reduced to 13 with parents consent. We ARE looking for new members to be a part of the band so if interested in learning to play an instrument or working for the Republican Struggle then feel free to get in touch with Glasgow Best Band!
We Look forward to what is going to be a great year for the band and the memory of Sean, The Band wishes to thank everyone who follows us regularly and buys our merchandise and look forward to the traveling ahead.
Any queries please feel free to contact us;

Saturday Scene
what would you say has been your best bit of 2008?3 Replys 44 weeks
Mine would have to be the Easter we had a decent size band over and played well and overall as a band really had a good weekend.
best parade would have been Glasgow Hunger Strike, and off course Bawnmore festival is always up there
