The Fairey Band is a brass band based in Heaton Chapel in Stockport, Greater Manchester.
Its name comes from Sir Richard Fairey and the Fairey Aviation Company, famous in later years for the Fairey Delta 2 aircraft - the first aircraft in level flight to exceed 1,000 mph, and had an important contribution to the shape of Concorde and its droop nose.

Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find.”
