Devilish Publishing - The Premium Music Publisher


Devilish Publishing is the UK's leading music publisher of premium brass band music, based in York, England. We Publish the very highest quality music from today's composers of brass and wind instrumental forces, including brass band and symphonic band.

Publishing the hottest talent in our industry, including high-profile names such as Martyn Thomas, Simon Kerwin and David Gibble, to name only a humble few!

Our music publications are typeset to the very highest standards, far exceeding the brass band industry norms. Specialists in Lilypond music engraving software, we have well over 2 decades experience in music editing, and are obsessive about our entire production chain; from editing, all the way through to final print.

All of our publications are printed off-site, to utilise the highest and most demanding professional print standards, with strict in-house quality controls. In short, we're here to make uncompromising music products.

All of this uncompromising quality is delivered through well-oiled internal processes, borne through decades of developing our craft, but we do not limit ourselves to just paper. We are relentless in our quest to combine music publishing with technology -- in fact, we see ourselves a tech music publisher; all the technological armory of a well-funded tech start-up, combined with a passion for paper with black dots printed on it.

This has led to our web platform -- it's so much more than a website! It's an entire eco-system of technology; our revolutionary music submission process, publishing agreements and royalty calculation and reporting system are evidence of some of the great work so far completed. But we're just getting started; we're working on some absolutely amazing things right now, and we'll be excited to share it with you when the time is right. Stay tuned every year for new technologies we build!

Devilish Publishing exist to revolutionise what some might see as a rather stale and old-fashioned industry, but we love brass bands, and we're making it a promise to make the brass band world a better place because of what we do.
