SHOTTS ST. PATRICK'S BRASS BAND

Shotts St Patricks Brass Band was founded in 1878 is one of the oldest brass bands in Lanarkshire.  Currently graded in the second section, we rehearse at our band hall on Windsor Street, Shotts every Monday (and some Thursdays) at 7:30pm - 9:30pm and perform at a range of contests and concerts throughout the year under the baton of Charlie Farren.

Whilst our senior band enjoy competing at the majority of contests in the Scottish Brass Band calendar, we have also been invited to perform at places such as The Houses Of Parliament, Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh and Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. The band can also be seen performing regularly in local community events with one of our highlights being the traditional 'Big Trip' held in June.  
 
In October 2013 the band were thrilled to introduce the Shotts Development Brass Band. SDBB was formed with the purpose of offering learners within our local community (of all ages) the opportunity to play a brass instrument and learn how to read and perform music completely free of charge. We offer tuition as well as the loan of an instrument and learning materials so that we can not only give back to our community who have always supported us, but also strive to keep the brass banding tradition alive within North Lanarkshire and beyond.
