About us

Hunmanby Silver Band is a friendly, non contesting band, based in Hunmanby village. We are approx. 8 miles south west of the resort of Scarborough. We are one of the few remaining full complement brass bands operating on the North Yorkshire coastal strip. The bands emphasis during performances is on entertainment, playing music targeted at audience participation and enjoyment. We are an open door band and welcome visiting musicians to our rehearsals which takes place every Sunday (unless the band is engaged) at Hunmanby community centre from 10.30am - 12.30pm. Also Thursday evenings from 7.30pm - 9.30pm. (please see Engagement Page). 





Our musical director

 the legendary Mr Graham Walker.

Graham, when he was playing in Yorkshire Imps, in the 70s

We were extremely fortunate 11 years ago to obtain the services of the nationally respected conductor and 1971 champion cornet player of Great Britain Graham Walker, as our musical director who retired to Filey after a career as a professional musician. His influence since joining us has resulted not only in greatly improved playing standards within the band but his reputation has attracted experienced players to our ranks.
