Welcome to the Oughtibridge Brass Band Website ***NEWS*** OUGHTIBRIDGE BAND SAY FAREWELL TO DAVE NEEDHAM ***NEWS** The Village of Oughtibridge has supported some sort of music making group for well over 100 years. The Band in its current state was formed in 1890. Throughout its history the Band has supported local events such as Church Parades, Galas, Carol Concerts etc as well as taking the village name far and wide with their tours and engagements.
The Band has also been a competing band engaged in local and national brass bands contests. From 1960 to 79 the Band won 23 trophies. In more recent times the Band played in London (including at the Albert Hall) in the National Championships three times between 1980 and 1990, and in the 3rd Section National Finals in Torquay in 2002. The band is currently 4th Section, but is hoping to bounce back up to the 3rd section at the upcoming area!
