This Saturday over 200 brass bands will perform at over 140 events across the country – from fetes, festivals & fairs to rehearsals & rallies, and fund-raising causes.

Varied events

In addition, over 40 bands are expected to perform at the Durham Miners’ Gala, over 20 at Pershore Midsummer Brass and more than 10 bands competing at the Silkstone March & Hymn Contest.

The stunning variety of performances form part of MAD 4 Brass Bands Day and will also include at least three weddings and a Dog Show!
