Many brass players will have known Mr E C P ("Sonny") Wilson, President and
Bandmaster of the Blewbury Brass Band, who died last weekend, aged 91.
In 1919 Sonny joined the band to which he was to devote much of his life,
and re-established it after the Second World War. It was Sonny who, in the
late 1950s, provided the band with a permanent home by arranging for a
wooden building that had once been a house to be erected on the recreation
ground at Blewbury, and when, 40 years later, The Band Hut was replaced
with a brick building, the band officially named the replacement The Sonny
Wilson Rehearsal Hall.
We are just a small village band, but we hope to continue Sonny$B!G!)(B work of
teaching, entertaining, and - above all - sharing with others the joy of
brass playing.
Sonny$B!G!)(B funeral will be largely a family event, but the village band will
be there to play some hymns and perhaps a few of Sonny$B!G!)(B favourite pieces.
Any friends and local players who would like to join us are welcome: please
contact me directly at robert_c_knight@xxxxxxxxxx or by phone on 01438
782369.
Bob Knight
Secretary
Blewbury and District Brass Band
