Tracing the Band's history all the way back to the early days at St. John's, Benchill, is an ongoing project. There will necessarily be gaps to fill, dates to add, names to be placed on some of the faces. Our ultimate aim is to provide a pictorial account of a slice of history within our local community and the role played by the Band and its members in that history.

Whenever you visit our website, you will be able to sign in and add any comments or information concerning the Band's history pages. We also plan to provide the possibility of uploading photos. All information provided will be checked before being added to relevant pages. We will, of course, acknowledge your contribution on our credits page.

Special thanks to Kev Parr for allowing us to use the wonderful photos of the Band and Dancers taken by his Dad, Tom Parr, during the early years. Check out Kev's website on http://www.kevparr.com.
