Fairey Brass Band

Founded in 1937 by a group of employees at the Fairey Aviation Works in Stockport, the Fairey Band achieved many musical successes under the brilliant direction of Harry Mortimer, their Musical Director for over thirty years.

Since those early days, the band has been 16 times British Open Champions and National Champions of Great Britain on nine occasions. Winners of the BBC Best of Brass and Granada Band of the Year titles add further touches of distinction to this famous band.
