Royal Buckley Town Band: Music Director: Keith Gorton Jones
Established in 1822, Royal Buckley is one of the oldest known brass bands in Great Britain. It is one of only four brass bands to proudly have the 'Royal Title' bestowed.
We are very proud of our Royal title, although with the passing of time, the actual date it was conferred cannot be pinpointed exactly. It is certain we held the title in 1894, and it was probably around 1889-1890 that the title was granted, just after the Band played in Hawarden Castle for the Prince and Princess of Wales (later to become King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra).
A registered charity, throughout the year the band performs all styles of music, from traditional brass band repertoire to arrangements of modern pop songs and more.
Instantly recognisable and proudly at the head of many a parade, Royal Buckley play at many concerts, fetes, galas, civic celebrations, contests, charity events, rugby & football games.
In 1985 the Band purchased the old fire station in Buckley and converted it into a band room, including a rehearsal room, music library, storeroom & social area for fund-raising events. The band room has recently undergone significant repair work and we work hard to raise funds to ensure we can continue our proud tradition and drive forward the legacy of the players who came before us. We look now to ensure the future for those to come, with the formation of a new Youth band.
Any enquiries regarding joining the band, the band’s activities and donations may be addressed to the Band Manger: Mr Martin Bassett-Rhodes
