Hawick Saxhorn Band is 144 years old, having been founded in 1855. the
oldest Brass band in Scotland is St Ronan's in Innerleithen, which i thin
k
is 148 years old. Jedforest Instrumental band has been around for about 1
46
years.
Interestingly, looking through band records recently I found a letter to
our bandmaster in 1891, written by his brother in Brighouse & Rastrick,
comparing musical events, etc.
