Hebden Bridge hopes for new flood of entrants

Hebden Bridge Band hopes to bring back the music making to their town with a flood of a different kind for their popular contest.

March
 

After the devastating floods in December last year the Hebden Bridge Band has informed 4BR that they hope to bring back some of the feel good factor to the town with the return of the Hebden Bridge March Contest.

Bumper crowds

The town and its businesses suffered greatly in the floods, but following extensive repairs and renovations it is hoped that the popular contest will once again attract bumper crowds to the poular banding area.
