Brunel Brass's Legacy

Introducing Brunel Brass, an organisation striving for excellence in the world of brass music. With a proud legacy spanning two decades, Brunel Brass stands as a testament to musical endeavour and dedication, boasting numerous contest victories and a reputation for musical distinction.

At the heart of Brunel Brass lies a steadfast commitment to nurturing and developing young talent. With three vibrant academy brass bands under its wing, Brunel Brass provides a supportive environment where aspiring musicians can flourish and grow. Notably, the oldest of these academy bands competes in the challenging 3rd section, pitting their skills against seasoned adult performers—a testament to the band's dedication to fostering the next generation of accomplished musicians.

Brunel Brass is more than just a brass band—it's a community united by a passion for music and a shared commitment to excellence. Join us as we continue to push boundaries, inspire greatness, and forge the future of brass music together.


Brunel certainly showed there are no limits to what a brass band can do. Some cracking playing from all round the band.
