The band was Hawthorn City in 1982? The conductor was sqn Ldr Laurie Hicks and the principal cornet was the conductor of Y.B.S. David King. In 1924 the Newcastle Steelworks Band toured G.B. and were successful in a major competition at Halifax where they soundly beat Black Dyke Mills to win the contest. They then went to the British Open where Black Dyke didn't compete and won that. The Newcastle band then went to London for the Nationals (of course you Brits wouldn't allow that to happen now they would have to start in the third section) and I think they were placed third, B.D.M. winning on that occasion.
