Enfield Citadel Band

Enfield Citadel Band was founded in Tottenham, north London, in 1892, and soon established a reputation as one of the Salvation Army’s leading musical groups. In 1972, with the merging of two Salvation Army corps, the band moved to Enfield, on the outskirts of north London, and assumed its present title. There, as before, the band’s principal purpose has remained - to proclaim the Gospel message within the corps, in open-air activities and in visits to hospitals etc. in the same way as Salvation Army bands throughout the world.
