We have exciting news from Sheffield! Grimethorpe Colliery Band has revived Crookes Brass Band after 86 years, bringing music back to the community. Every Wednesday, brass players gather in Walkley to learn and perform under Grimethorpe's guidance, marking a significant cultural revival.
The inaugural concert in April 2024 will feature Jamie Smith from Grimethorpe as a guest soloist. Crookes Brass Band has already reached capacity, thanks to Grimethorpe's initiative providing free instruments and tuition.
To ensure the bands' sustainability, we at The Sarah Nulty Power of Music Foundation have given a grant to cover venue costs for their first-year concerts, benefiting 40 in Crookes Brass Band and 20 in the Training Band.
The support will establish these bands as vital community assets, providing opportunities for musical development and fostering a sense of pride and belonging in Walkley and Crookes. Building a brighter future through music together!
