Welcome to Driffield Silver Band, based in Great Driffield, the Capital of the Wolds.
As one of the oldest brass band organisations in the country, Driffield Silver Band has been at the heart of music-making in East Yorkshire for generations. Today, the organisation comprises three ensembles: Driffield Silver Band, the East Riding Youth Band, and the Driffield Community Band, providing musical opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.
We are passionate about promoting brass band music through performance, education and community engagement. From introducing young musicians to their first ensemble experience, to supporting developing players and providing opportunities for experienced performers, our bands offer a welcoming and supportive environment in which everyone can enjoy making music.
Our musicians regularly perform throughout Yorkshire and beyond, delivering entertaining, engaging and award-winning performances at concerts, contests, civic occasions, community events and private functions. Whether appearing as featured artists or supporting existing events, we pride ourselves on providing high-quality musical entertainment for audiences of all ages.
The East Riding Youth Band plays a vital role in our commitment to music education, helping young musicians develop their skills, confidence and love of music. The Driffield Community Band provides an enjoyable and relaxed environment for players wishing to learn, return to playing, or simply make music with others. Together, our three ensembles create a pathway that supports musicians throughout their musical journey.
While we are proud of our heritage and longevity, we are equally committed to ensuring a bright future for brass banding in our area. Whether you are an experienced player looking for a new challenge, a former player thinking about returning, a young musician eager to progress, or someone interested in learning more about brass music, you will always receive a warm welcome.
