Hesketh Bank Silver Band has a long history, dating back as far as 1895. It was initially established as a temperance band, providing an alternative to the consumption of alcohol as a means of entertainment. The band has been through a number of ups and downs over the years and is currently in a strong position with an excess of players. In recent years our training band has been re-established. A number of players have already progressed to the main band and many more are in the pipeline. This will hopefully ensure the band will still be around in 2095. Hesketh Bank Silver Band plays a wide range of music from traditional marches and hymns through to jazz and modern compositions.
