Brighouse

The Brighouse and Rastrick Band is regarded by many as the best and most consistent ‘public subscription band’ in the world.

During its time the majority of premier band championships have been held by ‘Briggus’ whilst the band has also attracted a formidable reputation for highly entertaining concerts for both the general public and brass band connoisseur.

The band was formed almost 130 years ago through public donations given by the townsfolk of the adjacent villages of Brighouse and Rastrick that face each other across the River Calder in West Yorkshire. Amongst the general public, Brighouse and Rastrick is perhaps most popularly known for its famous 1977 hit ‘The Floral Dance’ for which it won both Silver and Gold Discs for huge record sales and tremendous national and international acclaim.

A superb night of entertainment is in store with a mixture of classical and popular favourites. New arrangements written for the band and some tremendous solo performances by the band’s principal soloists make the concert one not to be missed.
