The Legacy of Hyde Band: A Musical Journey

The Hyde Band's  musical heritage is woven intricately into the cultural fabric of Fordingbridge. Established in 1895 by the visionary Mr H.E. ‘Bert’ Shutler, this band began its remarkable journey within the charming Gorley area. 

What started as a Fife and Drum Band of local musicians blossomed into what we now recognise as a Brass Band. 

Over the decades, the Hyde Band has not merely survived but thrived, embracing changes in musical styles and community needs. Its evolution is a testament to adaptability and passion, where every note played echoes the sentiment of togetherness and local pride. 

Through countless performances, parades, and community events, the band has fostered a spirit of camaraderie, enriching the cultural landscape of Fordingbridge. 

As we reflect on our origins, we celebrate a rich legacy of music and community involvement that continues to resonate in the hearts of many.
