Years ago, the Somerset. Carnival were always led by the brass or silver band the of the town whose carnival it was. I played in the Wells silver band, A better time then seventy years ago.

@herbiestrainsbands346 15 дней назад

I started in a local town band in the early 70's and yes, we did about five or six local carnivals and perhaps it was a strange discipline for someone in their early teens, but always enjoyed it. There's also no doubt that whilst standards are higher generally in bands these days, there is a shortage of players with fewer youngsters getting involved and I think the pandemic took it's toll too!!

@@herbiestrainsbands346 Started when. I was eleven yo. Living in a rural village in 1952, hardly anyone had private transport, and a chap from a village closer to Wells than we were, used to cycle two miles to pick me up, and sit me in his crossbar, turn around and go back through his own village and the another two miles to Wells. I then went to one of the older bands men who used to teach me in his garden shed!! Good old days.

@@brymorian That's how it was though, Remember having to catch a bus to band after a half mile walk with a Euph, I was 12. People wouldn't let their kids do that today!!! But yes, good times!

How splendid to see and hear these amateur bands who spend many hours practising for events such as this - can anyone tell me the names of the marches played by the first three and last bands = thank you

Wow...yank here and familiar with the British Brass Band idiom (ala "Brassed Off") and I'm assuming these groups sit down later and play their a**es off. That said, Bodmin knocked me out..."Washington Greys" is one I performed in high school here in Southern California...bitchin'! (Haha, we invented that word here in surfland!) BTW, I play tuba and next life will definitely play a trumpet...or, better yet, a piccolo!

@herbiestrainsbands346 24 дня назад

Hello Charlie. Think I'm right in saying this is the only 'test piece' contest (on the playing field after the march) held in the open air in UK, could be proved wrong though. Sometimes if it's not raining the wind might be coming in sideways, sometimes both!!! You're not wrong about Bodmin and great to hear such a classic for a change. I played tuba also for 47 yrs and always said I'd come back as a Soprano Cornet player!!! Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the comment.

Oh no! What happened to Pendennis?

@herbiestrainsbands346 24 дня назад

Not all the bands march Harry as it's not mandatory. TBH a variety of 10/12 bands is about right, 9 this year. Pendennis were certainly performing in the contest propper.

Herbiestrains. They don't know what they are missing, the rubbish they are listening to with their phones stuck to their ears!! I am glad I am at I am not young again, best regards.
