The Central Band of the Royal British Legion is our spectacular flagship band.
As well as performing at events across the UK, the band also join us for our Festival of Remembrance each year.
Their concert repertoire covers the musical spectrum and they have links to over 50 other Royal British Legion Bands from all over the UK – from concert show bands, brass ensembles, pipe and drum, to marching carnival bands.

Bands, Membership and Youth Musicians
We’re also proud to have around 20 RBL-licensed bands across the country. They include full concert bands, brass ensembles, pipes and drums, and marching bands. We also have dedicated youth bands, and many of our bands include young musicians. You can find your nearest band on the map below.
Each band is run independently, and all funds are raised by the bands themselves. Our bands play a wide repertoire of music to suit a variety of occasions and events.
All band members should be RBL members, and young people between the ages of 12 and 18 must join the RBL as a Youth Musician member. Children under 12 may be able to join some bands but are expected to become Youth Musician members once they reach 12 years old.
