Hathersage Brass Band is one of the oldest in Derbyshire and has been in existence since 1882. Among the significant events the band has played at was the first lighting of the village by gas on December 14,1908. The band continued throughout two world wars when it was sustained by older members. In later years, the band played at the Duke of Devonshire’s 65th birthday party at Chatsworth House.
Regular events include concerts in Hathersage in spring and autumn, outdoor concerts in villages to celebrate well dressings, fetes and galas during the summer season, Christmas concerts and playing carols during the winter.
Members of the band range from players who are still at school to those who are retired. The friendly group of musicians welcome new players across all areas of the band.
Rehearsals take place on Sundays from 7pm to 9pm at Green Lawns Community Centre in Marsh Lane and all are welcome.
