Dodworth Colliery was Founded in 1836. It has enjoyed 190 years of making music and during the late eighties and into the nineties, became one of the elite championship bands in South Yorkshire, gaining a worldwide reputation for its entertainment programmes.
The band, like many other bands, suffered a decline following the closure of the Colliery, however, the band re-established itself, following the beginning of the millennial period, and continues to improve and strengthen, which shows in our extensive entertaining programmes we give to the public, not just in South Yorkshire, but as far away as London!
We are a very friendly band and always welcome new players even if we have a full band! We regularly have 20+ at rehearsals
Of course we recognise that in this modern era, there are many commitments that we all have, so will support our players to have an enjoyable experience.
We rehearse in our own bandroom Mondays and Thursdays, and have excellent facilities, including our own Welfare club, in which a well earned drink is always welcomed after a rehearsal!
