Whit Friday Band Contest


Blackpool Brass perform at the Whit Friday Band Contest at Top Mossley. Similar contests were held at the Broadoak Hotel and Hurst Cross in Ashton, and at other locations, including Stalybridge, Dukinfield, Lees and in many of the Saddleworth villages. Bands from around the country tour as many contests as they can, taking part in a marching contest and performing a set piece.

    I love Whit Friday :) The band I play for managed to get round 6 or 7 of the venues in Tameside and had a fabulous time!
