Tewit Silver Band
Tewit Silver Band was only formed in November 2017, as an adult arm of the long established Tewit Youth Band.
Our objective is to advance the participation, education and appreciation of the general public of all ages in the science of brass band music in Tewit and the surrounding areas through the provision of rehearsal facilities, instrument hire and tuition and by the participation in contests and concerts.
Under the baton and direction of Martin Hall, we enjoy entertaining people of all ages at our concerts throughout the year – visit our website or Facebook page for more information.
As a contesting band we have had an amazing few years - successfully competing in The North of England Area Contests to gain promotion from 4th Section, into 3rd Section and then to the 2nd Section. This September,we are once again, travelling to the National Finals and in January, we enter the 1st Section.
We are delighted to be appearing at Silsden Proms on the Farm again, for what is one of our favourite events.

I am delighted to be back singing again at Silsden's Proms on the Farm, this is my 14th year ....where has the time gone!
Thank you for having me back.
Singing has been a part of my life from an early age and I joined the Primary ranks of the Nelson Civic Choir and did my first solo "Somewhere over the Rainbow" aged 5.
I progressed through the Junior Choir; a highlight being at the age of 13, to sing solo when the choir completed at the Montreux Choral festival in Switzerland to a packed festival hall of over 3,000 people. I continue to sing at the Methodist Church in Silsden.
I am thrilled to be back singing along side the amazing Silver Tewit Band and Martin Hall, it's always a pleasure.
Proms on the Farm here in Silsden holds a special place in my heart, the atmosphere is always electric made special by Silsden`s Promenaders and it's just great fun .
So here's to a fantastic evening and many more !!!!!
