LAKE VICTORIA BAND

Lake Victoria Band is based in Kenya, Africa, on the banks of Lake Victoria.

The band was started by Robert Thomas, a Leeds born brass musician, who spent most of his working life as a band trainer in the British Army. When Bob retired he settled in Kenya and decided to form a band for the local children. Through his contacts in the brass band world he was able to acquire a number of instruments most of which had seen better days, but were still capable of being put to good use by the band.

West Yorkshire Brass members are pleased to support Lake Victoria Band, having supplied them with some funding and equipment. It’s always a pleasure to see Bob and welcome him to our band on those occasions when he is able to visit the UK.
