Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band
The history of Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band can be traced back to humble beginnings in 1884 as the South Elmsall Village Brass Band. In 1905, the band was adopted by the local Frickley Colliery, which became owned by the Carlton Main Coal Company and by 1923 the band was known by its present name. Celebrating its 140th anniversary in 2024, the band has a long and successful history, ending that year in the Top 10 of British Bands and in the Top 11 in the world. The band has built a reputation as a fine concert band through a combination of innovative programmes partnered with quality of performance.
