TODAY we take a look back at some of the district’s top brass bands, enjoying national success – and some international tours.
Share your memories of local bands below and if you have any old pictures you would like to see in the Telegraph & Argus, you can email them to odele.ayres@telegraphandargus.co.uk.
Please include your name, address and phone number with a brief description of the picture, including when it was taken.
