Stayleybridge B band.with the superb John Reynolds, British Aerospace in 1993 - highlight was 2nd in the 1st section areas but sadly had to leave to go to uni so never made the Albert Hall, (Happily for us) Returned to banding many years later after Terry Wagstaff jumped out from behind the Melons in Asda(always wondered what he did for a living)  persuading me to get my lip In, that was 2004 - Ashton ever since.( well done Terry!) 

Coming 2nd with Ashton playing Masquerade at the Spring Festival - the cornet fanfare was electric and I don't think we have ever played so well before or since.....(watch this space!)                                                                               

I don't have too many tales I can get away with (you're not joking!) But I have very fond memories of Dave Priestley (solo trom) Playing the Acrobat  with his foot (sure it was his foot?) Complete with a leopard skin leotard.....(He's still got it, but thankfully it only comes out on a weekend)  

Anything Else ?

King Cotton was an amazing highlight - something to tell the Grandkids, should I ever manage some!
