I am also interested in this subject since in my (virtual) spare time I
am contemplating writing a history of the Egham Band, which was formed
in 1895 or thereabouts. We are very fortunate in having a large picture
library, and a number of older ex-members who could supply oral
histories.
I'm interested in placing the band into the social context of the
community too, weaving in local events etc.

Has anyone else ever done such a thing? Got any hints and tips - like,
don't ;-)

Hi John

A long standing member of the band I play for compiled a history of our
band, which was published into a book.  Len Parsons played in the
Wellington
Silver Band from the 1930's until 1996.  His book gives notes and
photographs from 1860 to1986.

I could probably locate a spare copy if you were interested.  Drop me a
line
if you would like me to find a copy - pmorgan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
