Christmas Rest  23 Dec 2011

Well the Christmas concerts are over, a long deserved rest for all. Many thanks to all the band members and see you all on 4th January 2012.

Are We The Oldest ? 12 Dec 2011

Here's a challenge for you. See if any other band could beat the continuous service of our trombone section.

From left to right

Chris Barratt Solo Trombone aged 65 with 55 years continuous playing service  with Farnworth Band and Farnworth and Walkden Band.
Ken Wolstenholme Bass Trombone aged 65  with 40 years continuous playing service  with Farnworth Band and Farnworth and Walkden Band.
Bill Roscoe 2nd Trombone aged 71 with 63 years continuous playing service  with Walkden Band and Farnworth and Walkden Band.

Making a grand age total of 201 years and a grand playing service total of 158 years, with the same band.

We challenge any other band's trombone section out there to beat this total.
