Hi guys!
Long time since i have been in touch or anything but was surfing the net and decided to drop by. Hope you are all well! Good to see the band in strength. Are you still having the infamous band parties in the band hall and after rehearsal nights in Torleys??!! I remember things well! I was also thinking of you all when i stopped at Southwaite services the other week. The traditional stop off on the way to and from Blackpool! Anyway, just wanted to say hi and John Martin...remember...\"ye cannae play the guitar wi a saft plecky\"...Take care, Liam (in band on cornet from 1984-1995)

Hi everyone - been a long time since I have been anywhere near Lochgelly, but the band has been in my thoughts loads in the years since I left bonnie Scotland! Its lovely to see so many of you are still playing. Anyways, as I am back in Fife for Christmas for the first time in many years I look forward to catching up with you all at your concert on the 21st!

Hi Terrence, the churchhill march album you are asking about was made in OCTOBER 1984. do you have the cover for it, on it you will see the photo of the Coductor , He was a legend, George Thomson but he took ill and our musical director took over, the album was made in the Band hall, everthing was set up and the man was inside his recording van outside. There is an actual photo of the band that day the kit player is sitting at the back of a glass screen, i was in the band doing this,& still play with them now, But in CANADA how the heck did you get a hold of the album, Another thing springs to mind at the time, the Churchhill march was i believe to be played in Webminster abbey bye the RAF band, so i hope i have answerd your question bye now & take care.

Great web page; thanks. I recently acquired the recording by Lochgelly Brass Band entitled \"Churchill March\"; when was it recorded. I am a percussionist with Nanaimo Concert Band est. 1872 at Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada.
