About Us

Carlisle St. Stephens Band

The band has a long history dating back to the early 1900s. We are keen to keep the band running and entertaining the people of Carlisle and the surrounding area. We currently rehearse on a weekly basis and our mission is to:

  • Provide an educational and recreational organisation which brings musicians of all abilities together through participation in music-making.

  • Develop the highest musical standards possible through rehearsal and performance.

  • Contribute to and represent the local community of Carlisle through performance.

We welcome new players—just phone our secretary and come along to practice. As well as our website, you can catch up with us on Facebook, where you’ll also find recent video clips.

If you’d like information on forthcoming events, you can complete a contact form on the website. We’ll add you to our friends list and send you updates as new events are announced.

Over 100 years of history in
brass banding

We have kindly been provided with some old 78rpm gramophone records that were made by the band during this era.
