From:Colin Harding Hi gang! Good pics from the area, shame the result didn't quite match.

Apparently my band will be making a rare expedition from the North East to Whit Friday so it doesn't look like I'll be able to join you this year. Hope to see you all soon, keep up the hard work and best of luck for the future!!

From:Adrian Hirst It’s great to see the band going from strength to strength. It seems years ago that I was sat on the Bass Trombone seat (mid 80’s) but the great memories are still there. Both Karen and I hope to see you in July at the centenary concert.

All the best – Adrian (Hirst)

H,i My name is Annie and I play for Epping Forest Band in Essex. I love the website. Very slick. Very classy.

I notice you have a reject from our band playing trombone for you. He goes under the name of Steve Brown. Don't give him any leeway. He'll only take advantage. Give him my regards

Thank you Annie Dehaney-Steven

From: Raymond Ibbotson, Hello, I have been looking at your web site. I played in the Birdwell Band in the 1940s and 50s. I have some old photos of the band which I will send to you shortly which you may find interesting. An old Birdwell bandsman died recently, Mr. Malcolm Lang of Birdwell. Malcolms father was the band secretary in the 1950s. I am still playing Euph in the Ammanford Band (South Wales) we are playing "The Moor of Venice" at the regional finals in March. I intend to visit Yorkshire in the Spring and would like to visit you for a blow if possible. All the best Raymond.Ibbotson
