My dad was a very involved bandsman, for over 60 years. The greatest delight he and Mum had was visiting the Whit Friday competition one year as guests of the Beses o'the barn band I think (or was it Black Dyke....can't quite remember, but one of them!) Great photos, which they didn;t have (pre digital). Dad loved to remembr that time up until he died a couple of years ago, and Mum still talks about it.
ReplyDeleteSo, thanks.
Mum and dad went with the band on the bus, and say they never had more laughs, especially as the day wore on and the beers flowed. I fancy it was Besses, cos they were friendly with Roy Newsome, and I think he was conducting them at the time. Then they went on a tour of mainland Europe and met up with Black Dyke Mills in several places.
