James Cheetham JP, the band secretary leading up. I was one of the founder members of the band,(1952) but left before I took the photo, to join Wigan Town Branch British Legion Brass Band.

Thanks Norman for sharing another photo of the band with me - lovely to see many of our relatives who were in the band
That's my Grandad, Jimmy at the front, he was the Band secretary for many years.
