The Irish Guards were formed in 1900 on the expressed wish of HM Queen Victoria to commemorate the bravery of the many Irish Regiments who had fought in the South African campaigns. The Regimental Band was formed at about the same time and consisted initially of 35 musicians and a Warrant Officer, Mr C. H. Hassell, who was the Bandmaster. Today, these popular bands travel the world bringing the pomp and pageantry of marching band and military history to the world.
