History
Ireland Colliery Chesterfield Band was formed in 1991 by the merger of Ireland Colliery Band and Chesterfield Band. After the merger, ICCB was placed in the new Midlands 1st Section and maintained its place for the next decade. Following 2nd place in the 2011 4th Section Championships, the band had a meteoric rise, going back to the 1st Section with three consecutive 2nd-place promotions in 2012, 2013, and 2014. With a second-place promotion back to the 3rd Section in 2025 and a stronger band than ever, we're looking forward to more success soon.
