Littleborough Band Triumphs at 2025 Holme Valley Brass Band Contest
Littleborough Band, under the direction of Ashley Higgins, clinched victory in Section C of the Holme Valley Brass Band Contest held at The Civic in Holmfirth on Sunday. The contest featured a format requiring bands to perform both a hymn tune and an own-choice test piece.
Littleborough Band's performance earned them first place overall, as well as the award for Best Hymn Tune. This achievement continues their strong track record, following a second-place finish at the North West Area (Fourth Section) contest earlier this year.
Queensbury Music Centre, conducted by Chris Lewis, secured second place, while Linthwaite, led by Tony Robertson took third. The adjudicator for the event was Sandy Smith.
The Holme Valley Brass Band Contest, an annual event, attracted a diverse range of bands from across the UK, showcasing the vibrant brass band community.
You will be able to see Littleborough Band perform in Hare Hill Park on 18th May 2025 when they open this year's Band In The Park season.
