Welcome

Welcome to the website of Rushden Town Band.

Remembrance Day is nearly upon us, and like most brass bands, the players are often asked to play for services across the country. This is no different for RTB. Several players will be playing at Rushden Memorial on Sunday, whilst others will be playing in their local town or village across Northamptonshire. It is our privilege to be part of these ceremonies and to show our respects to all those who have lost their lives in the service of their country. May they RIP.

What a weekend! On Friday evening (18.10) and all day Saturday (19.10), the band worked really hard to record their first CD. It was definitely not easy, but we are sure it will be worthwhile. The CD – Sound Waves – will be available in the New Year (sorry for those who wanted it for Christmas Presents!). It is full of our favourites, and we hope yours tool, including the piece specially written for the band by Craig Stevens in memory of David Groom – the band’s President and a player for many years. More information about how you can obtain the CD will be published in due course.

Wow! What an amazing night we had in the Walled Garden, Rushden for the Annual Rushden Proms. It was lovely to see so many people in the audience and what great singing! Sadly, our MD Adele Hudson was unable to conduct, but her deputy, her husband John, did a sterling job taking the band (and audience) through their paces. A big thank you to Em Roberts who not only joined the band on cornet, but led the singing in the second half.

Another event already in the planning stages is our second tour – this time to the Rhineland. If you or you know of any local companies who would like to sponsor the band, please ask them to get in touch with us.

We are a First Section brass band based in Rushden, Northamptonshire.
