Band History

Daventry Band originated in the 19th century, and is thought to have been started as a Fife and Drum Band. Around 1881 the name changed to The Daventry Working Man's Band. In 1927, the band bought its first
uniforms for a cost of £100!! After the end of World War II Daventry and District Silver Band, was formed by the amalgamation of Daventry Town, Long Buckby Town and Long Buckby Temperance Bands.

Rehearsing in the old bad room!

The band rehearses once a week, on a Tuesday in our own purpose built band hall (completed in 2011).

We are active throughout the year, attending and supporting local contests, as well as the annual Regional Contests, and serves the community throughout the year by providing music for Remembrance Day, and playing carols in local Residential and Nursing Homes, Danetre Hospital and at the open air church services around Christmas time.
