I have friends in the Hallroyd Band, so it was lovely to hear them play at the St Blaise Wool Festival at the Industrial Museum. It's a community brass band, based in Northcliffe Church in Shipley, where it was founded over 70 years ago. They look to be thriving, judging by the number of members that were assembled. They perform numerous concerts and engagements throughout the year and it's always a joy to hear them. I love a good brass band!
They look very professional! As you know, O.K. plays in his village's brass band. They had their 100th anniversary in 2024 - a big year for the band with more engagements and concerts than usual. Now that Carnival has begun, they are quite busy playing at various venues and participating in the small parade in the village on Sunday.
