Friendly Band

Established in 1868, Friendly Band has been at the heart of the village of Friendly for over 150 years, proudly continuing a rich tradition of brass band music.

As a self-funded band with no sponsors, we work hard throughout the year, performing both locally and across Yorkshire. Whether you’re planning a wedding, birthday, concert, corporate event, or any special occasion, we can provide a full band or a smaller ensemble to suit your needs.
