1994 Loxley Programme
"Grand Musical Evening featuring the Loxley Silver Band with soloist Hilary Osborn on Saturday 29th October 7:30pm at Tapton Hill Congregational Church, Manchester Road.
Greetings:
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all tonight to our “Grand Musical Evening. A special welcome to the Loxley Methodist Silver Band under the musical guidance of Ann Underdown and soloist Hilary Osborne.
We are very fortunate to have such a fine local band with a prize winning pedigree stretching over 105 years. Although the band is hard working throughout the year it will be best known to many of us for Christmas carolling in local hostelries.
Tonight will be tinged with sadness for the band, as it is the last concert with their musical director Ann Underdown, so expect a rousing send off".
Notable band members at this time were Tom Osbourne, currently co-principle trumpet with the Hallé Orchestra and Dale Garner, currently soprano cornet with Championship section Marsden Silver Band. Many of the other members noted on the programme are still with the band and Anne (with an ‘e’) Underdown has returned to Loxley in a playing capacity on Euphonium.
