Band of the Irish Guards February 4, 2010

The Irish Guards were formed on April 1, 1900 on the expressed wish of 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 quickly gained a reputation for excellence. Over the years the Band has toured extensively throughout the world. In 2010, The Band of the Irish Guards will make its debut tour of the United States.
