CREWE Brass is a second section competing brass band in the North West area and are well known throughout South Cheshire and beyond.

They have a history going back forty years. They were formed when the North Midland Co-operative Society sponsored one of the best youth bands in the country - South Cheshire Young Brass - and included players from the United Co-op Youth Band.

Crewe Brass' first home was the old Co-op Buildings in Mill Street, Crewe.

From there they moved to Bold Street in Sandbach, another Co-op building and then back to Camm Street Gym. When the Co-op withdrew their sponsorship, the band became known as Crewe Brass and moved to Shavington Primary School where they rehearsed for five years.

However, Crewe is famous for several things - Crewe Brass, Bentley Motors, Crewe Alexandra FC and trains and Crewe Brass have finally come home in 2021.

Crewe Brass will be moving to the Exhibition Hall at Crewe Heritage Centre on Vernon Way in Crewe and from June 21 they will use the premises for rehearsals and as the band in residence.

Crewe Brass plan to put a concert on at Crewe Heritage Centre's expansive Exhibition Hall in November 2021, as well as an annual Christmas concert in Nantwich.
