Brass Band musicians Ulverston, Cumbria, UK.

Ulverston Town Band has been in existence for over 160 years. Pictured here playing in front of the war memorial in the town of Ulverston in South Cumbria ,UK. The earliest documented performance of the band was from the laying of the foundation stone to commence the building of Hoad Monument in 1850. This monument is a replica of the Eddystone Lighthouse and was erected to honour Ulverston born explorer Sir John Barrow. As in 1850 the band still plays a major role in the life of Ulverston and can regularly be heard and seen performing concerts in and around the town throughout the year and supporting the various town festivals and civic occasions.
