The 'Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band' was formed in 1881. It is based in Brighouse, in Calderdale in West Yorkshire.
Since January 1995, the band have practised at their purpose-built hall and music library called ''West Ridings'' at Brighouse High School on ''Finkil Street'' in the north of Brighouse near the A644. The band is not sponsored but relies on public subscriptions and fund raising.
In November 1977, the band reached number 2 in the charts with their recording of ''The Floral Dance'' where they stayed for nine weeks, only surpassed at the time by Mull of Kintyre (the first UK single to sell more than 2m copies, and third best selling UK single ever). It was arranged for the band by Derek Broadbent. See Furry Dance. The B side was Debussy's ''The Girl with the Flaxen Hair''.
