We have three bands within the band family - Town Band, Concert Brass and Progress Brass accommodating players of all abilities and in addition, we have a ten piece group, Decibels.

Bedford Town Band, formed in 1894, aims to bring the joy of brass band music to the local community, encourage brass players, entertain the public and help other charities. Our 3 Brass Bands, a Brass Academy and a Ten Piece Brass Ensemble all enable us to provide the opportunity to learn and play at all levels, from complete learner to experienced player competing in national level competitions, and at all levels in between. Each of these groups participate in one or more of over 50 Public performances during each year, giving experience to the players and helping to raise funds for a number of charities.
