About

Carlton Brass is a local community-based brass band that has a rich history and a great sound. The band is based in Nottingham and available for bookings across the East Midlands and beyond.

We are a contesting band and the 2025 Midlands Area 2nd Section Champions. We enjoy performing a wide range of music at events across the East Midlands and further afield. One of our objectives is to encourage and provide opportunities for all ages to play or learn a musical instrument, and we are particularly keen to support the development of young people in the local area. We aim to raise both awareness and musical standards through the variety of performance.

Our band organisation founded in 1902 as the Netherfield Railwayman’s Band, and in 1950 became the Carlton Silver Band. In 1988, Nottingham City Transport’s sponsorship included renaming the band as the Nottingham City Transport Band for several years. Since then, the Carlton Brass Association has grown and we now have two thriving bands: Carlton Brass and Burton Joyce Community Band, which is our non-contesting group.
