The Black Dyke Band represents the very finest achievements of Brass Band playing.

We continually strive to improve our musicianship and performances so that audiences around the world can enjoy the glorious tradition of Brass Band music. Despite a proud heritage traceable to the Victorian age, we always keep an eye to the future: encouraging new players, new music and new interpretations of old classics. We recognise and honour our past, but want to remain a contemporary musical ensemble committed to delivering the very highest quality musical experience for our listeners. We hope you can join with us in making this a reality for many years to come.
