Welcome to Whaley Bridge Brass Band

We are Whaley Bridge Brass Band, a traditional town band which has been playing its part in community events since 1865. We enjoy a varied program of concerts and contests throughout the year, performing for the Whaley community as well as raising money for local charities. We notably lead the parade through Whaley Bridge on Carnival Day, enjoy a summer afternoon on the bandstand in Buxton Pavilion Gardens, take part in the Whit Friday Marches, and head a Christmas Extravaganza at Whaley Bridge Bowling Club.

Feel free to come join us for a blow - rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings in Kettleshulme and embrace a musical repertoire ranging from traditional marches, through classical favourites, to tunes from stage & screen and popular hits.  Our Training Band practices on Thursdays, and as well as their own concert programme, they join the seniors on some occasions for a “Massed Bands” performance. 

We have opportunities for experienced players and also for those returning to banding after a break. One to one tuition is also available and takes place throughout the week for people of all ages. Please see below for our contacts or our 'join the band' page for details about current vacancies and where we rehearse.
