West Yorkshire Brass is a brass band, formed in 1986. Prior to this a number of its members were playing with the West Yorkshire Fire Service Band. However, when that band converted from a brass band to a military band many of the brass players were left without a band.

As a result those brass players got together and formed a new band ~ West Yorkshire Brass.

Why West Yorkshire Brass?

All members of the band come from throughout West Yorkshire. From Mytholmroyd to Leeds ~ Keighley to Wakefield. So West Yorkshire Brass is a fitting name.

Over the years membership of the band has increased purely by word of mouth. Most members of the band are on the wrong side of 40. So clearly we are not a youth band! Most of our members have been there, done it and got several Tee shirts.

The band plays at a substantial number of concerts each year, throughout West, North and East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. We are not a contesting band and are quite happy to rehearse only once a week.
