Music at The Salvation Army

 Since its foundation music has been an integral part of Salvation Army meetings.

Band (Bandmaster Phil Ward)

Salvation Army bands originated as a way of attracting people to the gospel - drawing a crowd back from an open air service into the hall to hear the message. Whilst this is still a role, SA bands also play as part of our meetings. Both to accompany congregational singing and to add to the worship experience with message based music as part of our offering of our talents back to the Lord for His use.

Bradford Citadel Band is made up of a variety of professions including a joiner, a bus driver, a nurse, an asset manager for a public utility, a homemaker, some students and a retired gentleman. Our banding is part of our Christian experience, worship and witness.
