Brass

Shire Extra supports Lanarkshire’s many brass bands, as well as events and festivals that celebrate this important sound of Lanarkshire’s culture, especially within the former industrial and mining communities. Historically, Lanarkshire had far more brass bands than any other county in Scotland, with almost every town, village and some hamlets having at least one throughout the decades and centuries. We also have programs dedicated to this genre on Monday evenings, produced by Sounds Of Brass Radio in Girvan.

We endeavour to attend events within Lanarkshire where pipe bands regularly perform. 

Below is a list of local and community brass bands within or near Lanarkshire, with their website and social media links. At the bottom of this page are links to pipe band organisations.  If you are curious and want to view our list of 180 former and historical brass bands in Lanarkshire and the communities they represented, click HERE.
