About Me

MK Brass, formally known as Broseley Brass, was formed in 1984 through the generous sponsorship of a building company called "Broseley Homes", from which organisation the band took its name. Broseley Homes was much involved in the development of Milton Keynes - the new city in which the band is based. And where did the company get its name? From Broseley in Shropshire where the company had connections - so that's how a Buckinghamshire Brass Band is named after a Shropshire location.The band was started with just eight players - six of whom still play with the band - and its first job was to take part in the Milton Keynes Miracle Cycle. However as the instruments had not yet arrived band members took the stage as actors rather than musicians!Subsequently the company was taken over by Ideal Homes and the sponsorship deal lapsed in 1994.
