Carlton Brass

Carlton Brass is a first section band in Nottingham. We rehearse Monday and Thursday nights at our own band room in Netherfield, Nottingham NG4 2FR under the direction of our music director Chris Banks. We have a good mix of concerts and contests throughout the year Our band organisation was founded in 1902 as the Netherfield Railwayman’s Band, and in 1950 became the Carlton Silver Band. In 1988 Nottingham City Transport’s sponsorship included renaming the band as the Nottingham City Transport Band for several years. Since then, the Carlton Brass Association has grown and we now have two thriving bands: Carlton Brass Band and Burton Joyce Community Band. We enjoy performing a wide range of music at regular concerts in the Nottingham area and beyond. We are keen to encourage and provide opportunities for all ages to play or learn a musical instrument, and we are particularly keen to support the development of local young people through our non-contesting training band, Burton Joyce Community Band.
