Recently we came across a souvenir programme from the Band’s Golden Jubilee Gala Week in 1976. Several events were arranged for the week and the guest conductor for the massed band concert was Mr Eric Ball, a famous name in the brass band world. The programme contains some photographs that are already on display on our Archive and More Archive Photos pages, as well as many advertisements of village businesses (along with their 3 digit Mawgan telephone numbers!).
One page is dedicated to a history of the band in much more detail than that given on our About Us page, so please click on that to get a larger version. There is also a picture of the band in July 1976 (click to zoom in and read the names).
As the Gweek Silver Band approaches its 100th Anniversary, we hope the following pictures are of interest.
