Lindenow Brass Band

The Lindenow Brass Band existed in the early 20th century in the farming town of Lindenow, near Bairnsdale in East Gippsland.

History

The Lindenow Band was formed around 1899, with mentions in the local newspaper beginning around that time, including fundraising concerts to purchase instruments.

In 1902, Lindenow were one of five bands performing at the Bairnsdale Hospital Sports Carnival, along with the Victorian Police Band, Bullumwaal Brass Band, Bruthen Brass Band and Bairnsdale Municipal Band.

They continued to play regularly in the local area, including at the Lindenow Races and other events, through the WW1 era until at least 1918. It is not clear when they disbanded.
