About Us

Drighlington Brass Band is a traditional British Style Brass Band, based almost exactly half-way between Leeds and Bradford in the heart of the world renowned Brass Band homeland of West Yorkshire, England. As well as our year round concert programme, we are currently an established First Section Contesting Brass Band, regularly knocking on the door of the worlds leading and most hard fought Championship Section level to compete alongside the likes of the world famous Black Dyke, Grimethorpe and Brighouse & Rastrick.

As with most brass bands in the UK, alongside our Contesting ambitions, our primary function throughout the year is to entertain audiences with our popular concert work, providing musical entertainment on every level from our small ensemble providing backing music and/or light entertainment to functions and private events such as exhibitions, garden parties, weddings, galas & fetes through to our full band concerts, including jointly hosted concerts with Choirs and other musical groups.

With an ever growing library of over 2500 pieces covering everything from Classical to West End Musicals, Swing & Blues to Pop Music, church service and original works, plus a flexible ensemble size, whatever the scale and musical style of brass music entertainment you may require, we are likely to have a combination to suit your needs.

Get in touch with us for pricing and availablity.
