I have a history of the Accrington Old Band from 1842 to 1900 compiled by Jim Savage and a further history from 1900 to the present East Lancashire Concert Band. Neither is published but the first one contains a picture of the Reed Band with all the names and the second has a picture of Sir Harrison Birtwistle as a young clarinet player with the North East Lancashire Military Band in the mid 1940's. If anyone is interested in looking at either of these, I can be contacted through the web site of the East Lancs Concert Band. Nick Holme Band Chairman.
