The Artane Senior Band was founded in 1988 by a group of past members of the Artane Boys' Band. For the first 12 years of its existence the band consisted entirely of past members of the famous Artane Boys' Band. The band now welcomes musicians from other ensembles and musical backgrounds to join its ranks, although membership still consists predominantly of past Artane Boys’ Band members.

The Artane Senior Band provides an opportunity for former Artane Boys' to keep in touch with friends and to continue their musical enjoyment, education and performance.
