+ Fishburn Band

‘The origin of Fishburn Band stems from the mining community of the small village of Fishburn near Sedgefield in the North East ... Over the years the band formed links, via sponsorship, with various firms associated with the mining industry, such as “National Smokeless Fuels” and “Coal Products Limited” whilst remaining loyal to the village of Fishburn. However, following loss of sponsorship the band fought back from financial collapse on three separate occasions ... The band is very much aware of its responsibilities as one of the North's premier bands and continually strives to maintain its high profile both on and off stage. Fishburn Band is registered as a charity but members still find the time to become involved in numerous local charity events in the village and surrounding areas.’
