The Durham Miners’ Association Brass Band was formed in September 2009 by the amalgamation of Broughtons Brass Band & Hetton Silver Band.
The name reflects the longstanding association that Broughtons Brass Band has with the Durham Miners’ Association & previously the Durham Area National Union of Mineworkers.
The band performs annually on behalf of the Durham Miners’ Association at the Durham Miners’ Gala & the Thomas Hepburn Memorial Service.
