Westoe Brass Band

We are a Second Section brass band formed in 1911. In 1919 we were the first colliery band to win the British Open.

Everyone at Westoe is excited to share our annual Autumn Concert details for 2025. This year the theme of the concert is ‘𝓝𝓸𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓷 𝓛𝓲𝓰𝓱𝓽𝓼’ and it will be once again compered by the inimitable @rayspencermbe

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

The band may be on our well-deserved summer break but we’ll be back before you know it, at one of our favourite concert venues.

This will be the final concert in the Brass Bands at the Amphitheatre series which is part of the summer long South Tyneside Festival.

“Together, we honour the past and celebrate a future built on unity, hope, love and peace.”

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

It was an honour tonight to take part in the South Tyneside commemorations for the 80th anniversary of VE Day which included the lighting of the beacon and a unique moment in time, with a massed singing of the great British Hymn ‘I Vow To Thee My Country.’

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

VE Day this year has not only been a tribute to those who fought for the freedom we all enjoy today, but also a powerful reminder of the resilience and unity that has defined our country ever since.

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

Wishing all of our friends, families and supporters a very Happy New Year.

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

Our 2024.

Thank you to our supporters, to those who have attended our concerts and everyone who has shared in our 2024.

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

Merry Christmas, with best wishes from everyone at Westoe Brass Band.

@rayspencermbe What a wonderful night it was!

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

There are plenty of opportunities to see and hear the band across the region throughout December as we take part in festive events from South Shields to Blyth via Newcastle and Sunderland.

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

The 1st of December is upon us once again and with it, the start of the busiest month in the brass banding calendar. We’d like to extend our best wishes to our brass band friends who will all be incredibly busy this month.

[Westoe Brass Band @westoeband]

We’re easing ourselves in this year with a relatively quiet start to the month before it gets busy.
