This directory is an attempt to collect together information about such bands and make it available to all. Over 19,600 bands are recorded here, with some 10,600 additional cross references for alternative or previous names.

A separate work is in preparation covering brass bands beyond the British Isles. A separate appendix lists the brass bands in each county
