Live Performance
Brass Band
We are a Second Section brass band based in the Cockerton area of Darlington.
We compete in the Northern Area of the National Brass Band Championships
The band was formed in 1870 & has been based in the current bandroom, in the grounds of Cockerton Band & Musical Institute (a CIU club), since the 1920s. The bandroom was originally the coach house of the house that stood on the Club site.
The band takes part in a number of competitions & concerts during the year. Please see our Engagements page for our current list of jobs.
The band is proud to lead Darlington’s annual Remembrance Parade.
The bulk of the band’s fundraising is done through December with many caroling jobs entertaining Christmas shoppers. Please give generously!
The band is available for private functions such as weddings, birthday parties etc & can perform music to suit all occasions.
Once home to three bandstands, one at the pier head, one in the Valley Gardens and one in Hazel Grove, all now lost, a long campaign was fought by local people, in particular the Saltburn 500 Club to bring a bandstand back to the town.
In July 1997 after years of fund raising and a National Lottery Grant for £63,500, the Bandstand,which was designed by Peter Fenton, a well known local architect, was opened.
The Bandstand also boasts decorative security screens made by local wrought ironsmith James Godbold who has a forge in the village of Egton, North Yorkshire. Every year free band concerts are held between May and September. Volunteers from the Saltburn 500 Club work hard to raise money to maintain the bandstand and organise the concerts with support from Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council and Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council.
