The Ensemble

The membership of SASWE comes from all over the UK. Members are linked with the Salvation Army in their area.

"Thank you for the opportunity to play with SASWE. I have always believed strongly in the power of music to move people in various ways, and its vital role in faith and worship. Clearly this is strongly reflected in the SA tradition, so it is nice to have the chance to play a small part in that."
