Cockermouth Mechanics Band

Cockermouth Mechanics Brass Band is a large band of 30 or more regular players. We perform three well supported concerts per year, as well as representing the town and its regular calendar of ceremonies: Carnival, Armistice Parade, Arts Festival, Civic functions, Christmas celebrations and even Royalty. In addition, we also play at Cockermouth, Keswick and Loweswater agricultural shows, three or more charity functions per year, and at our local Old Folks homes at Christmas. 
We do not take part in brass band competitions which means that we don’t have to turn folk away because we are oversubscribed. We also have an enthusiastic Apprentice Band for both young players and adult beginners.
Founded in 1825 we are possibly one of the oldest brass band in the world.
