Bradwell Band

Helping out your Community Brass Band

We need to raise funds to purchase new folders for our players... I know, it's not exciting, but it's these small things that are essential to the smooth and professional running of the band. We would be really grateful if you would help us cover the cost. Each folder is £15 (don't worry, we will get years of use out of them) and we need to buy 30 of them. Please help us raise our £450 target with a small donation and MK Community Foundation will match your donation £1 for £1.

About the Band
Bradwell Silver Band has been in existence since 1901 making it one of the oldest music groups in Milton Keynes and, we believe, the oldest brass band in continuous existence in MK.

The modern day band plays at numerous local events and has featured several times at the Ironbridge festival of brass in Shropshire, and has played at the Royal hospital Chelsea, home to the famous Chelsea Pensioners.

In 2001, its Centenary year, the band was selected to represent Britain at the Knokke-Heist international firework festival in Belgium, where they entertained an estimated crowd of 100,000 people from the V.I.P enclosure.

The band has a proud history of teaching brass and today anyone who wishes to learn a brass instrument is provided with an instrument and taught free of charge.

Today's development band has a wide range of ages from about 8 years onwards and has numbered as many as 35 members.
