My uncle was a member of I think, the Broomhill Colliery Band, probably in the 1920s. He played a bassoon or some such thing. Isn't there a photograph in one of Elizabeth Stewart's books taken outside the Grey Arms? We also had a funeral at Amble of a Radcliffe man with the bands playing at the head of his cortege (12 June post on Amble page).
