About Us

Established in 1822, the Royal Buckley Town Band is a friendly community brass band based in Buckley, Flintshire. 

We will be busy throughout this year with various engagements and Second Section contests.

We're 2026 Whit Friday March Winners!

We’re delighted to share our full set of results from across the Saddleworth circuit. 

Second Section Winners at Uppermill  ~  2nd prize at Scouthead & Austerlands  ~ 3rd prize at Diggle ~  4th prize at Greenfield

There were a record 174 bands competing across all sections ~ A memorable evening of music, teamwork & commitment from every player - & especially our wonderful MD - a night to be proud of.

2025 Welsh National Eisteddfod winners!

 

Thanks to our Music Director Keith Jones - and his wonderful choice of programme.  A super team effort,  with exceptional soloists and featured players. Thank you to family, friends and all who support us, it really does mean so much to us all. 

Diolch yn fawr iawn 

Vacancies

We're always happy to recruit players to strengthen the band, particularly Solo Euphonium and Solo Horn at this moment in time.

Uniform Appeal - Help Us Strike the Right Note!

We’re fundraising to replace tired kit and outfit every member with pride — from our youngest learners to our seasoned performers.

Our band is growing in numbers - and so is our need for smart, matching uniforms. We have our iconic ‘Reds’ that people know us for and our outdoor, waterproof ‘black’ kit for all-weather performances - but some uniforms are worn out and we simply don’t have enough for our new players.

Outfitting a single member can cost over £300:

• Our signature red jackets are around £250 each

• Waterproof black jackets cost about £60

• Polo shirts for casual events are around £12


If you love what we do, please consider donating. Every bit helps us keep Buckley’s musical tradition marching forward in style.  Thank you!
