Backworth Colliery Band is a busy and entertaining brass band based in North Tyneside near Newcastle upon Tyne. We have a proud history and (we hope) a very bright future! We perform at concerts, contests, civic events, weddings and parties in the North East and further afield.
The band plays many varied styles of music from traditional brass band music, dance and swing band, modern pop, classics and film music, as well as the best of modern original composition for the genre.
We are available – from a full brass band to smaller ensembles.
We rehearse on Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 7.30pm and 9.30pm at Backworth Social Club and welcome new players and visitors.
Our musical director/conductor is Chris Travis and our Band Secretary is Alison Lockhart.
