Help the City of Hull Band meet the costs incurred by reaching 'The National Finals at the Royal Albert Hall, London'

Raising for City of Hull Band

We’re The City of Hull Band, a dedicated and passionate brass band based in the North of England, and we have some incredible news: we competed in the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at the iconic Royal Albert Hall this October! 🎉

This was a huge honour for us to represent our region on one of the world’s most prestigious stages.

🚌Why We Need Your Support:
The logistics of Getting 28+ musicians, instruments and percussion to London wasn’t easy – or cheap. The cost to the band amounted to £12890 and consisted of:

  • Transport to and around London - £2950
  • Accommodation for the band in London - £7490
  • Rehearsal costs in the run up - £1000
  • Rehearsal space in London - £500
  • Contest entry fees and related expenses - £950

So far we have managed to raise £4000, through charitable donations, grants and fund raising events.  We’re aiming to raise a further £8890 to cover the remaining amount.

🎵About Us:
The City of Hull has been at the heart of our community since is founding in 1989, 36 YEARS! We perform regularly at local events, contests, and concerts, and are proud to champion brass music for all ages and abilities. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for quality performances, community spirit, and musical excellence.

About us

City of Hull Band

Charity number: 1107164

At the soul of every note we play is a simple mission: to bring people together. Our brass band isn’t just about music—it’s about connection, expression, and community spirit. Through bold harmonies, shared performances, and the joy of making music, we aim to uplift hearts and strengthen bonds, both on stage and off.

Music has the power to transform a space, a moment, a person. It reduces loneliness, offers a safe and inclusive place for people to perform and belong, and creates shared experiences that unite audiences and players alike. We believe that every rehearsal, every concert, and every note played is a chance to spark joy, promote well-being, and celebrate cultural identity.

Join us as we play louder, reach farther, and make our community stronger—one note at a time.
