Pillowell is a small English village in Gloucestershire, on the south-eastern edge of the Forest of Dean.

Pillowell Community Primary School, founded in the 19th century,[2] briefly became known nationally in 1973, when its pupils under their music teacher Mrs Davies, sang "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" as the signature tune for Winifred Foley's A Child of the Forest, when it was serialized on BBC Woman's Hour.

In 1787, when the area still belonged to Newland parish, there were ten dwellings on Crown land, near the well that gave the settlement its name.

The long-serving conductor, Clive Lewis, led it up from the fourth section of the national championships, and along with Alan Beddis and Fred Watkins, taught many of the children in the local village schools to play.

In 2020 the band pulled out of the Area Contest due to the Covid-19 pandemic and as a result is now competing in the fourth section.
