The information resource for brass bands world-wide
Updating IBEW
A long overdue refresh of the IBEW website is in process. Most components are in place, but some pages have yet to be transferred. In addition, updates and reviews of the many external links is in hand. As a result there will be some aspects of IBEW that do not work correctly and/or dead external links that have not been removed.
The work should be complete in early 2022.
