The second section competing brass band is well known throughout South Cheshire and beyond, and has a history going back 40 years.

They were formed when the North Midland Co-operative Society sponsored one of the best youth bands in the country – South Cheshire Young Brass – and included players from the United Co-op Youth Band.

Crewe Brass’ first home was the old Co-op Buildings in Mill Street, Crewe.

From there they moved to Bold Street in Sandbach, another Co-op building and then back to Camm Street Gym.

When the Co-op withdrew their sponsorship, the band became known as Crewe Brass and moved to Shavington Primary School where they rehearsed for five years.
