The Hatherleigh Silver Band
HATHERLEIGH BAND is one of the oldest organisations in the town and one of the oldest bands in the county of Devon.
As early as 1827 there is a record of a band playing as the Duchess of Clarence (later Queen Adelaide, wife of William IV) passed through the town on the way to stay with Lord Clinton at Heanton Satchville after opening the new Laira bridge at Plymouth.
The Volunteers were formed in the town and in 1860 a band attached to them gave its first public performance. From then on the band accompanied them as they marched to various places and functions.
