Founded in 1855 as the Saltaire Band by Sir Titus Salt, the band had a long association with Hammonds Sauce Works. Now, with Morgan Griffiths as Musical Director, the band performs as Hammonds Band. Alongside contesting and performing throughout Europe, the band has also enjoyed working with multi-instrumentalist Shri Sriram to fuse brass band and traditional Indian music together. In 2024 the band welcomed former winner of the prestigious Craxton Memorial Trust Award, Anabel Voigt on solo horn.

About the Leeds Best of Brass 2025/26 series

There’s nothing quite like the sound of a championship brass band and this season we’ve got some of the UK’s very best.

From contest champions to audience favourites, there’s plenty to enjoy whether you’re a seasoned fan or new to the brass band world.

While Morley Town Hall is closed for refurbishment, our Leeds Best of Brass series has found a new home at Pudsey Civic Hall – a friendly and accessible venue with great transport links, free parking and a well-stocked bar. It’s a great place to enjoy a Saturday night of top quality brass music. Seating in this venue is unreserved.
