Interesting question on the Bob Dunsire forum (under Beer Tent in case the link fails). Are Bedfordshire Uni' G4 the first English band to win a world championship in any grade?
I am almost certain Mounts won Grade 3 / 2 many moons ago. I might be getting confused with Champion of Champions though. I know they never managed it in Grade one but came 6th or 7th a couple of times.

If I'not mistaken Warrington Juv took 1st place at the Worlds some years ago.

martin's right as an ex "juvenile" the band won in 1984. Warrington pipe band (senior) also won in 76

Apparently the year that Mounts won the Worlds in grade 3 they achieved a grand slam winning every Majors. Would have achieved the same in Grade 2 other than coming 2nd in one of them !
