WHIT FRIDAY 🥁🎺

What an incredible day!

We had so much fun seeing everyone across the villages of Saddleworth and thoroughly enjoyed being part of such a fantastic celebration of brass banding.

We are immensely proud of all our performances throughout the day and would like to extend our sincere thanks to MD Martyn Evans. It was a true privilege and honour to share the stage with you.

A huge thank you also goes to all the event organisers and stewards whose hard work, dedication, and commitment made this wonderful day possible. We would especially like to recognise and thank Greenfield Whit Friday Brass Band Contest and their fantastic team of stewards for everything they do.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, the contest had to close before we had the opportunity to perform. While we are naturally disappointed not to have had the chance to showcase our band on our home stage, we fully appreciate the challenges involved in organising such a large and successful event. We would like to make it clear that this was in no way a failing of the organisers, and we wholeheartedly condemn any abuse or criticism directed towards those who worked so hard to make the day a success.

We would like to congratulate everyone involved in delivering another memorable Whit Friday and thank all those who came out to support the bands throughout the day.

Now, we look forward to preparing for our upcoming concerts and sharing more music with you soon!

WHIT FRIDAY EVE

The Greatest Free Show on Earth 🎺🥁

Boarshurst Band can’t wait for one of the most special days of the year as we proudly take part in the traditional Whit Friday Morning Walks through our village in Greenfield.

From the processions in the morning to the incredible atmosphere of the Whit Friday Contests in the evening, it’s a day full of music, community, tradition, and pride.

We’re proud to represent Boarshurst every step of the way and can’t wait to see the village out in force supporting throughout the day.

See you on Whit Friday! 🎶🏆
