Welcome to the Ashover Band website.

Ashover Brass Band has been in existence since the end of the 19th Century.

We have a thriving brass band in Ashover, with practices taking place on Sunday and Wednesday evenings from 7.30 pm to 9.15 pm in the Ashover Parish Hall.  We are a non-competing band and encourage a relaxed, but professional, approach to our music making.

The band performs for a range of public and private events across Derbyshire throughout the year.  We are always delighted to take on new engagements.

  • Hire rates available upon request (click "Contact Us" tab above)
  • Between 15 and 25 players
  • Available for private and public events and celebrations
  • Musical repertoire to suit all tastes and occasions

We welcome new players of all capabilities.  If you would like to come along to a rehearsal we would be delighted to meet you.

Training Band

We also have a strong Training Band, who practice on Sunday evenings at 6.30 pm before the main band practice - during school term times only!  In the training band there is a mixture of members of all ages, so if you fancy learning to play a brass instrument, contact us (click the "Contact Us" tab above) or, better still, come along and see us.
