Die Idleburghers are a Bavarian Um-pah Band made up of ex. pupils and staff from St. Matthew's RC High School, Manchester. The idea behind Die Idleburghers is to raise money to subsidise school band trips abroad. Some families have two or even three members in the school band and obviously this can be a financial burden on their parents. We have a policy which means no pupil will miss out on a band tour due to finiancial problems. Previous band tours include: Austria, Cornwall, Ireland, Germany, France and this year we return to France once again. Have a look at http://www.st-matthews.manchester.sch.uk/subjects/music/ to find out more about these previous tours! Please feel free to have a look around the site using the links at the top of the page.

Die Idleburghers are ideal for novelty evenings, Parish socials nights, weddings, stag nights, birthday parties etc. We can provide a full nights entertainment complete with German accents, bavarian schunkles, party games, sing alongs and bavarian toast at a very reasonable price, and as you can see it is for a worth while cause.

Any future gigs will be posted here so keep coming back to find out when the World Famous Die Idleburghers bavarian band will be playing near you!
