Brighouse & Rastrick Band is regarded by many as the best and most consistent ‘public subscription band’ in the world. The band is most known for its 1977 hit parade success The Floral Dance which reached No 2 in the UK charts. High profile appearances on live-television at the BBC Folk Music Awards with The Unthanks, and at the very popular CarFest, are just some of the ways that the band has expanded its popularity. With 140 years of proud history, the band is still fiercely financially independent and continues to maintain great traditions on its continued quest for musical excellence.

Programme details will be confirmed soon, please check back for updates.
