About this event
Small village with a big heart of brass. The unbroken 164 year story of Burbage Band
celebrates the crucial role of music-making in the community.
Nestled in the hills between Sheffield and Manchester lies the village of Burbage, home to a brass band with a unique story.
Drawing players solely from the local community, Burbage Band has an unbroken 164 year history, playing together even while away at war, to flourish in an era that has seen the decimation of the brass banding world.
In 2024 Burbage Band delved into their past with an ambitious project ‘Burbage Works’, culminating with their biggest ever live performance. This film follows Burbage Band’s journey, celebrating the social importance of a rich but overlooked part of our heritage.
