Alaistergee posted a question recently asking for information about Accrington Old Band. It was recommended that he start a thread in this section. It doesn't look like he has so I'm starting one as I'm interested in the same thing.

I'm researching the bands history in advance of the WW1 centenary next year when the East Lancs Concert Band (formerly Accrington Old Band) will be involved in various events remembering the Accrington Pals.

I have information from the years up to 1900 and from mid 70's but sadly lacking much from the years in between. I'm especially interested in 1900 to 1920, but also anyone who has memories or photos of the band under one of it's other names ( Accrington Military Band, Hyndburn Military Band etc)

Any information kindly received.
