The band attending the village festivities for the Silver Jubilee of King George V 1935.
(As is typical for a lot of outdoor events in Gweek,

Probably the earliest photo of the band - 1928

A friend in Somerset recently came across this old Bugle Band Contest programme from 1968. Pretty good results! 4th for the Suite and 2nd for their March.
