Thank you for visiting the website of Thundersley Brass Band

Thundersley is situated on the Thames Estuary in Essex, between the towns of Benfleet and Rayleigh, some 6 miles west of Southend on Sea, Brass banding in the local community goes back to at least the early part of the last century. The band was formed in 1980 from a nucleus of young local players, some of who are still current band members

In the late 1980's and early 1990's the band achieved regular success at numerous competitions including qualifying for the National finals in London 1989. Their journey to success gathered momentum in 2006 when they were crowned London & Southern Counties 4th Section Regional Champions, gaining promotion to the 3rd section. During this period they continued to perform well in competitions and were declared Southern Counties Amateur Bands Association Band of the Year.

In 2011 the journey continued with the band winning the 2011 Regional contect and then securing 4th place at the National finals in September. The band continue with this winning form and are pleased to announce that they have been awarded 1st place at the 2012 Regionals. The band now looks forward to travelling to and cometing at Cheltenham at the 2nd Section National Finals

With this current success Thundersley are now looking forward to being a First Section band and competing at the next level

The band also performs at numerous concerts, charitable events, private functions and civic events each year.
