The RNCM was founded in 1973 from the merging of the Northern School of Music and the Royal Manchester College of Music. Situated in banding country, brass bands are a huge part of the RNCM, with the RNCM Brass Band established during the 1990’s by brass innovator Howard Snell. The majority of our students are studying brass band instruments as a first study, and are encouraged to join brass bands outside of the college. The current band has representatives of Black Dyke, Brighouse & Rastrick and Fairey Bands.

UniBrass 2019 was hosted by Bangor University Brass Band. In 2020, the contest will be returning to Bangor University and will be celebrating its 10th anniversary.
