About Us

Bedford Town Band was established in 1894 to promote Bedford and contribute to the cultural and artistic life of the town. The band has a proud history of supporting civic occasions, charity events, taking part in competitions and helping hundreds of musicians of all ages to make music. The band consists of men and women of various ages, from all walks of life who have a passion for brass bands, music and performance. The repertoire of the band encompasses marches, classical overtures, jazz, modern brass band music and popular music.
