Welcome to the website of the Thurcroft Welfare Band
We are the small village brass band with huge ambitions!
Nestling in the outskirts of Rotherham, South Yorkshire, our band was originally formed by the Miners Welfare Committee for the benefit of Thurcroft Colliers and their families. Despite the closure of the pit, "the band plays on" through competition, concerts and events that require outstanding musical entertainment.
2009 and 2010 have been very successful and enjoyable years for the band and we look forward to continuing this into 2011. Following a successful three year campaign, the band see out 2010 ‘Top of the League' in the 4th Section rankings for Yorkshire and Humberside and will be promoted to Third section from the 1st January 2011.
If you require any further information regarding the band, please read on. This site should tell you all you need to know about the band. If you wish to book the band for an engagement or contact us in any way, please email Thurcroft@btconnect.com, or use any of the contact numbers on that page of the site.
We rehearse each Tuesday and Thursday evening, starting at 7.30pm, in our own Bandroom at the top of West Street, Thurcroft, and our Training Band meets each Saturday morning at 9.30, also at the Bandroom.
We welcome players of all abilities and/or instrument to come and join in any time!
