Cradley Heath Band was established in 1881. From church and Salvation Army platforms to civic parades; from street corners to concert stages, this innovative band has shared its unique ministry with others. The band is very much involved in the life of Sandwell and Dudley boroughs, providing music for many civic, church and cultural events including the annual Songs of Praise service and Remembrance Day services. This 13 member volunteer band is conducted by Bandmaster Rob Westwood-Payne and participates every Sunday in the worship services at Cradley Heath Salvation Army Corps. The band also provides several special concerts each year as well as Christmas carol playing on the streets of the boroughs of Sandwell and Dudley.
