  Desford Colliery Band – History
Desford Colliery Band is considered one of the world's finest exponents of the brass medium, combining British Brass Band playing with an entirely new concept of programming.
Because of this and the fact that the majority of the players were miners the band was renamed the Desford Colliery Band.
The Desford Band is committed to a policy that future generations will have music from this period to enjoy.

 INKPOT#55 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: 3 Days and 2 Nights with the Desford Colliery Band
Fortunately for myself and those who were there at the United World College that night, we caught the beautiful and exciting sounds of the Desford Colliery Band "live" in concert.
Firstly, the Desford Band has an amazingly versatile repertoire; from marches, to the serene "Nimrod", the swinging big band sounds of South Rampart Street Parade and the powerfully moving Procession to the Minster by Wagner.
The other admirable quality of the Desford Band was their ready sense of humour and showmanship that meant jazz and pop songs in their repertoire and even dancing on stage!
