Enfield Brass Band

The Enfield Brass Band is one of London's oldest bands tracing its origins back to 1861. The current band originated from the merging of the North Middlesex Silver Band and the Enfield Band. The North Middlesex Silver Band was formed around 1911 at Enfield's famous Royal Small Arms Factory. After the war, the North Middlesex Silver and Enfield bands merged, and in 1977 became the Enfield Co-op Band. From 2000, we were known as the Whitewebbs Motor Museum Brass Band.

In November 2006, the band name reverted to "The Enfield Brass Band" as part of a move to its current home at Capel Manor College, Bullsmoor Lane, Enfield, EN1 4RQ. The association with Capel Manor has provided the band with an excellent rehearsal facility and safeguarded the financial and playing future of the band.

More recently, the band has performed at the Royal Festival Hall with cornet virtuoso Roger Webster and has won prizes at the famous Whit March band contests held annually in Lancashire. 2015 saw a very successful tour to Ireland, when we played for a cruise ship, had a joint concert with Youghal Pipe Band, and enjoyed the local hospitality. In 2020 we started our learners' brass band which aims to encourage a wider range of people to learn how to play a brass instrument. Though musically ambitious, the band facilitates a friendly and welcome atmosphere where musicians of all ages and abilities are very welcome.
