Zelda...and Harry Mortimers reaction. So beautiful. When I was 11 my brothers dared me to get Harry's autograph at Prestatyn. I was a very thrilled little girl on that day.
Wow, stumbled across this tonight. I was there playing second EE flat bass next to the great Peter Lockett with Leyland DAF band. I was 16 years old kid and thought Dick Evans was a remarkable showman.
Brilliant uploads , thank you !! If you have any more please keep them coming . All the best , Mark .
Love Bramwell Tovey's flamboyant conducting, but of course Howard Snell's conducting is an artform of the highest order. Great bands too.
Christine Withington Irving Berlin just beautiful #cornet
I was there 🎺🎺🎶🎺👏👏👏what an amazing weekend of banding these used to be,highlight of the year for us all from Belfast Northern Ireland we never heard anything like it wow🎶🎺🎶🎺🎶still magic😊
Thanks so much. That gives me a great amount of energy. I watched it like a concert ! - Please, more if you‘ve got… Fodens from those days.
Ahhh take me back to the 80s when I was so much happier despite everything and I was nuts about brass banding. Robert Watson ..... brother of James perchance? Looks very like his late brother from behind ....as a neutral I'm glad Martin Winter won the soloist's prize that day; I like his style, not only technically assured but he doesn't just stand up and play the piece ..... he actually plays TO the audience which is rarer than hen's teeth And how nice to see HM's emotional response as he was playing. What memories it must have evoked ...
Cheers Andy, I remember that day as if it were yesterday, where have the years gone :-)
Just cannot compete these guys are killin me, dead
No wonder I felt compelled to move this direction in 87

Hi where is Mark oldham who played percussion for fodens now. I'm an old mate from college
Sorry to tell you that Mark passed away a few years ago.
So sorry to hear that. Was a brilliant percussionist and a good mate. Very sad
