We are one of the largest Brass Band organisations in the country, made up of 5 ensembles and over 150 players with players ranging from absolute beginners to semi-professionals.

Our name comes from our association with the Shepherd Group, a leader in the construction industry and one of the leading family-owned private businesses in the UK. The Shepherd Group not only provide us with generous sponsorship but they also allow us the use of their state of the art headquarters in Huntington, York for our rehearsal space.
