Description

The Market Rasen Band, formally the Market Rasen Town Band can be traced back as far as the Victorian era and has stood the test of time bringing the joy and warmth of brass band music to an ever changing audience.

With the onset of the Second World War the Band, like so many others, ceased activities but was reformed some years later with the help and generosity of the people of Market Rasen and businesses in the surrounding area.

Since its reformation the now Market Rasen Band has performed locally, nationally and internationally with concerts and competition success within the UK as well as television appearances and radio broadcasts.
