Our CDs

The Halifax Concert Band have released two CDs of music that make for excellent gift ideas or souveniers! Tracks from the first CD have been played UK-wide on Desmond Carrington's BBC Radio 2 show. Each CD was recorded live, in a single session at Halifax Grammar School by Mike Briggs for Sunnybank Location Recordings, Halifax.

Some samples from our first CD are available to download. CDs are available via band members and at our concerts for 10 UK pounds, or by post for 10.50 UK pounds (including postage and packaging). To buy by post, see the band Contact page for details.

The last track of our Christmas CD is a first for us in that it is a choral piece featuring exclusively the voices of band members. We think you'll like it! Both CDs give you a good idea of the wide range of music we play.

All proceeds from the sale of these CDs will go to band funds for the purchasing of music, equipment etc, so that the band can continue to entertain Calderdale and the rest of the world for many years to come.
