THE
Doctor Martin Trust

The Dr Martin Trust has been set up to stage an annual, world class, brass band competition for championship section bands.. 

Dr Ian Martin was an eminent consultant psychiatrist in Darlington, County Durham, who, in his will, bequeathed a substantial amount of money to enable an annual brass band competition to take place.

The trustees are all connected to second section regional runners up, Cockerton Prize Silver Band who, each Christmas, used to play carols at Dr Martin's home - "Wainstones". 

The inaugural competition was held on Saturday 17th July 2010 at the Gala Theatre, Durham City where  4 championship section bands competed for The Wainstones Cup and a prize pot of over £7000. The 2011 Contest was held on 11 September at Middlesbrough Town Hall.

As in previous years bands will perform 3 pieces comprisng their own choice of test piece, march and solo.  Prize money remains the same as 2011.


Competition arrangements for the 2012 event are now firmed up.  If you have any comments on this year's contest or any suggestions or questions which might assist  the organisers please communicate via email to STEVE GOODWIN

The Trustees
