They are the most successful contesting band ever having won the National Brass Band Championships, the British Open Championships and the European Brass Band Championships more times than any other band.
The band is also the most recorded Brass Band in history having recorded over 150 CDs.
They have also recorded with the likes of The Beatles, Elton John, Lesley Garrett, Tori Amos and Peter Gabriel with whom they were nominated for an Oscar for their part in the song ‘That’ll Do’ from the film ‘Babe 2, A Pig in The City’.
