Elland Silver Band is right at the heart of the largest banding scene in the brass band world. The band is currently in the third section, and performs at around thirty concerts, events and contests annually across Yorkshire and other parts of the country. The band has also performed on the ITV dramas "Where the Heart Is" and "Last of the Summer Wine".

The bands repertoire is very comprehensive including arrangements of popular orchestral classics, from film music to jazz and popular selections, and of course, brass band standards and marches. We also have one of the finest Youth bands in the country and an excellent Training Band where we provide instruments and tuition to children as young as 7 years old.

In 2010, the band was awarded the Queens Award for Voluntary Service, the equivalent to the OBE.

If you are interested in booking the band, then please contact Kathleen Harrison for further information. The band can cater for all types of event, large and small - the band can also provide smaller ensembles to play background music at weddings and corporate functions.

If you are interested in joining the band, rehearsals are Monday and Thursday evenings, 8.00pm until 9.45pm, in our own bandroom on Dewsbury Road, Elland (opposite the Gannex mill). Contact the bands Secretary, Kathleen Harrison for more details.
