"Tom's Band" by Dave Lee - £1.00.
 |
The Banstead Silver Band were formed at the beginning of the twentieth century.
Now known as the Epsom and Ewell Silver Band, they had the fortune to have one member, Tom Fiddimore, who completed seventy five years service. With his memories of times past, and the recollections of many members both past and present, we were able to produce this small book, recalling some of the Band's history. Illustrated with black and white photographs of the Band taken at various dates, the text reveals real life stories and anecdotes, some sad, some plain crazy! Much of the detailed history of the Band has, unfortunately, departed along with the many members who have passed through its ranks. This book was written in an attempt to preserve what is known about the Band's past, lest more of it gets forgotten for all time. |
