The Band was formed in 2009 by Colin and Amanda Reeves with the main idea that it was about time Ludlow had their own band again. It was decided to call it the Ludlow Concert Band, since it was going to be a wind band which contains both brass and wind instruments. The Town Council was extremely supportive and gave a start up grant for the band, to help buy music and other essentials, with the understanding that as a community wind band, the band would play at special civic events such as Remembrance Sunday and parades as well as other community lead events.
