About Me


Huddersfield Windband first began as an adult organisation in 1988 and is made up of 38 talented musicians from all walks of life who play for enjoyment.
We rehearse on Tuesday Evenings from 7.30pm at Salendine Nook Baptist Church in Huddersfield and perform in concert halls, bandstands (and muddy fields!) throughout the year.
If you are interested to join the band or would like to enquire about bookings, please contact Paul on: 07966 282 788 or email:
