Thanks for the bit of history - was this also called (or previously
known) as Quarry Bank Band?

Apparently they folded a few years back (early 90's?). From the
Stourport "old" hands quite a few went to play for Banks Brewery Band
which I think is now also gone.

There are a few to my knowledge:-
Tim Morgan and Lawrence Eccleston (Wooley Pritchard Sovereign)
Dave Deakin (was Stourport until March but now with Arrow Valley)
Phil Green (Fodens) is a west midlands local I believe

Sure to be some more "lurkers" around!
