- Welcome to the bebo entry for the Third Carrick Band.
Situated in the coastal town of Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland, near the entrance to Belfast Lough, 2008 sees the Third Carrick Silver Band celebrate 50 years of music making.
Over the last 50 years the band has competed in many contests resulting in an impressive number of wins and has entertained many thousands of people who have attended the concerts given by the band particularly throughout the summer and Christmas periods.
In April 2005, the band was given the opportunity and privilege of competing in the European Brass Band Championships which was held in Groningen, Holland and has also played throughout the UK and Ireland. The band are currently one of the busiest and most entertaining bands in Northern Ireland playing a wide selection of music covering many genres.
