Selby Abbey

Widely regarded as the best and most consistent ‘public subscription band’ in the world, Brighouse & Rastrick, the current British Open Champions, will be performing at Selby Abbey on Saturday 19th August.In its time the majority of premier band championships have been held by Briggus, whilst the band has also attracted a formidable reputation for highly entertaining concerts for both the general public and brass band connoisseur.

The ever popular Brighouse and Rastrick Band caught the ears and imagination of the British public with their recording of The Floral Dance holding the No.2 position in the British singles chart for 9 weeks. Even though they were held off the top spot by Paul McCartney, they still achieved sales of over a million, earning both Gold and Silver discs. The Floral Dance has now become a permanent feature of the band’s programs as the ‘unofficial’ encore. 

The band’s performance, in Selby’s 900 year old Abbey, will be the last chance audience members have to hear the band before they defend their British Open title in Birmingham at the beginning of September.
