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.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488915945983500085.post-54565961996639532122008-05-19T02:31:00.000+01:002008-05-19T02:31:00.000+01:00My dad was a very involved bandsman, for over 60 y...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. <BR/><BR/>So, thanks.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06459567597804197579noreply@blogger.com
