Tameside Whit Friday 2022

Following the latest and proposed future relaxation and removal of the Covid-19 control measures in the UK organisers have announced that Tameside will once again be hosting the traditional Whit Friday Brass Band contests at multiple venues across the borough on June 10th June.  

Adam Pickles Chairman of the FOTWFBBC said “We are delighted to once again be able to host the band contests in 2022, although Foden’s Band did an outstanding job with the online Whit contests over the past few year, nothing comes close to the real thing.

“The past 2 years have been difficult for all of us, and we’re really grateful to have something to look forward to. The towns and villages that make up Tameside will once again be resounding to the brilliant sounds of brass on 10th June this year and hopefully long into the future.”
