Clifton perform alongside Black Dyke
We are delighted to announce that our Senior band has been invited to perform alongside Black Dyke Band at the Piece Hall in Halifax on Sunday 20th June 2021.
This is the first in a series of outside concerts they are performing where they have invited a band from the venue locality to perform along side them.
The idea of the concerts is that Black Dyke are looking to support the return to live music of local community bands after the last 15 months and we are delighted to be the first of a number they are giving.
Come along to the Piece Hall on Sunday afternoon 20th June 3.00pm onwards and enjoy the music.
Bands slowly getting back together
For the last couple of weeks both our bands have been getting together once a week on a Thursday and Friday evenings for rehearsals. We have very kindly been offered Wibsey Methodist Church as it is much bigger than the band room and enables us to social distance.
We are also seeing a small number of concert enquiries drifting in so please look at our engagement page to follow where we will be over the summer.
Get together at long last
It was lovely to get together after so long although only in groups of 6. All those who came really enjoyed making music again and seeing each other for a chat. Fingers crossed it continues. A special thank you to Wibsey Methodist Church for allowing us to have our groups in their grounds and hopefully once we can go inside they are letting us use their large church.

Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all our members and supporters. 2020 was a difficult year for everyone and we sincerely hope that 2021 is much better.
