Welcome to our website. Situated in the coastal town
of Carrickfergus in Northern Ireland, near the entrance to Belfast Lough,
the Third Carrick Silver Band has been in existence for almost 50 years
and still continues to grow and improve. 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 (see news item for full details) and prior
to that was awarded "Band of the Year" and in the same season
won the North of Ireland Band Association (2nd Section) competition, retaining
the trophy for a second year as champions. The band close 2006 once again
