Lofthouse 2000 Brass Band

Music making opportunities for everyone.

Welcome to Lofthouse 2000 Brass Band

Thankyou for visiting Lofthouse 2000 Website.  We are a 3rd Section band currently, having spent some time in the 2nd section recently too.  We welcome players of all abilities to come and check us out, whether that’s part of our contesting team or to support our local communities with various events throughout the year.

Thanks to our dedicated MD Lee Whitworth, the team has grown significantly over the last few years and we have a strong group of players and won the Yorkshire 3rd Section Area Finals in 2022 and pre-covid triggering invitations to the Brass Band National Finals representing Yorkshire.  We like to have fun despite working hard so please do look at the opportunities available including seats at the Yorkshire Contest in March (see below).

You will also find news and events published here and our 100 club draw along with details of how you can support the band financially or book the band for an event.  Please do contact us if you’d like any more information!

We have Vacancies!!

We are currently recruiting for the following positions as part of our 3rd section contesting band:

  • Timpani
  • Bass (Eb & Bb)

We welcome all players of other instruments too as we look to grow the band and maintain full complement.  With regular events and concerts there is plenty of opportunity beyond the contests.

We are also looking to resurrect our Brass Roots band to allow those new to brass (or rusty) to learn an instrument with support from the wider Lofthouse team.  It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete beginner or looking to get back into playing after some time out we’d love to hear from you.  With instruments and tuition available this is a great alternative.  Please contact us with your details/interest as we build up a list of interested players and we’ll be in touch. 

Please see our vacancies page or contact us via lofthouse2000brass@gmail.com or phone 07876 800929.  If you’d rather just drop into a rehearsal feel free to come along on Monday & Thursday evening 19:30-21:30 at the club.
