About Brighouse

Known for

The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band (one of the world's greatest, famous for their 1977 hit recording of Floral Dance), the Calder Valley, Smith Art Gallery, and a West Yorkshire mill town with an extraordinary musical heritage

A little history

Brighouse grew as a textile manufacturing town on the Calder and Hebble Navigation canal. The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band, founded in 1881, became world famous when their recording of The Floral Dance reached number two in the UK charts in 1977 — kept off the top only by Wings. The band remains one of the world's great brass bands.
