Formed in Queensbury, West Yorkshire in 1855, Black Dyke Band is the most successful contesting band in the world. With Musical Director Nicholas Childs at the helm and renowned musicians in its ranks including Principal Trombone player Dr Brett Baker, Black Dyke is the current Yorkshire Regional Champion. The band remains at the forefront of brass band activity with over 350 recordings to its name. In October 2020 Black Dyke’s recording of music by John Rutter became the first by a brass band to reach Number 1 in the classical music chart.
