1810s British brass bands originated from Napoleonic Wars soldiers, contrary to coal miners belief.
A University of Cambridge study reveals that Britain's brass bands originated from soldiers of the Napoleonic Wars, challenging the belief that they were founded by coal miners in the 1830s-1850s.
The research indicates that military musicians established the first bands in the 1810s, with veterans forming non-military groups from the 1820s onward.
This new perspective emphasizes the significant historical and cultural connections between brass bands and Britain's military past.
