We are delighted to announce that Archie Batty will be taking over the baton at Brackley and District Band following Mark Probert’s decision to step down from the position of Musical Director.

Brackley & District Band delighted a full audience of around 120 people at their Christmas Concert on Sunday 15 December 2025, delivering an evening packed with festive warmth, musical quality and seasonal cheer. Held in a beautifully atmospheric setting, the concert proved to be a wonderful start to the Christmas season for all who attended.

On 28 September 2025, we had the privilege of performing alongside one of the top brass bands in the country, and current Midlands Champions, The GUS Band. This exciting collaboration, held at St Peter’s Church, was a celebration of music and talent with both bands representing the Midlands in the Finals of the National Brass Band Championships this year.

We were proud to represent the Midlands at the Finals of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, held in Cheltenham on Sunday 14 September 2025. Competing against some of the finest brass bands from across the country, the band delivered a strong performance that earned us a well-deserved 6th place finish in our section.

St Peter’s Church in Brackley was alive with the sound of music on Sunday 13th July, where the band performed our summer concert.
