Well we can assume you like the new website! It’s been so popular that we need to upgrade the server size. This could take about an hour, so please check back about 12noon (Saturday). Thanks for your support.

On Friday, May 24 streets will be filled with church congregations as they join Whit Walks in the morning before enjoying the ‘Greatest Free show on Earth’ from 4pm as the brass band contests commence. saddind.co.uk/saddleworth-br…

There are still a few bands doing their homework on the bus, it seems! Don’t forget that our pre- registration form closes tonight. This is to ensure that the contests have time to organise their booking in systems in good time. Don’t leave it too late!

On Whit Friday contests will post the number of bands waiting at their contest. Some contests will also be using their own social media - check the contest pages on the website. saddleworthwhitfriday.co.uk/latest-updates…

Various members of the BBE team will be playing in and visiting #WhitFriday24 tomorrow. Including the full #WhitFriday experience for our Marketing Manager, a Saddleworth Whit Friday newbie, courtesy of BBE Member Band Friezland Brass Band. Best of luck to everyone performing! See you there? 🎺

Brass Bands England Saddleworth Whit Friday Friezland Brass Band I’m convinced #WhitFriday24 and #brassbands in general get short changed in broader society. They are both cultural gems that should be more widely known and celebrated :-)

What a morning 😍 Can brass bands become a permanent fixture on BBC Breakfast please? Love em Good luck to all taking part in Saddleworth Whit Friday
