Prepare to be wowed by “the most famous brass brand in the world”: the Black Dyke Band.

Make sure to book fast - this ensemble sold out Saffron Hall on its last appearance here. With its roots in the 19th Century, the Black Dyke Band has taken the tradition of brass band playing into the 21st with a mix of classic band tunes, jazz, pop and film scores, all delivered with the camaraderie and sense of fun that makes these musicians so special.
