A lovely march I've known about as a boy, played beautifully by a well balanced and led band. The trumpeting around the bass solo is very crisp and dignified and the whole thing is well recorded. I haven't heard the trio before, but it it is very nice. Interesting to hear below about the place, Moore Street.
Just recently discovered these lovely marches written by people whose names aren't shouted out aloud when we get Piefke collections and other German tunes, or the classics from the British Army repertoire. Most are for flute and drums, and a very few are played by Indian Army and Indian paramilitary bands, which is a great pity. Came through these through Belphegor rehearsed by the EFR Band (the EFR being an old Indian para outfit formed of eastern Nepal youngsters, the 7th Gorkha and 11th Gorkha Rifles boys. Let's hope these tunes spread side by side with our own.
Indrajit how did you find out about William Love and his music ? I am presently looking into his life and music and wish to know how far his music has reached across the world
slightly incorrect - William Love was a Fountain man. The March Moore Street was dedicated to the Hamilton Flute Band which had a band hall in Moore Street prior to being destroyed by paramilitary activity during the troubles.
My father and grandparents grew up in number 12 Moore Street, Londonderry. We moved to Aubrey Street on Wapping Lane where I played Moore Street regularly as a member of Thiepval Memorial Accordion Band who had their band hall in George’s Street.
@@avondaleflutesndrums7543 Thiepval Memorial Accordion Band folded in the early 1980’s due to ageing members no longer fit to parade and they were succeeded in the Fountain by the William King flute band.
