Gathering of members at Queen's Hall Wigan for (I think) a tribute to (again I think) Bill Haydock. I am second row from the front, extreme left. Can anyone throw any light on this gathering?

Is that Brian Burke extreme left front row?

David, Didn't you play trombone? I played cornet but I think this photo was after I had left. Funny that some are dressed in full band uniform and others in casuals.

Yes I did, for quite a few years - from Boys' Club days into Ted Gray's days. My memory isn't what it was - all I remember was lining up on the steps to have the photo taken.

The one in the middle of the third row, partly hidden with dark rimmed glasses, looks like Malcolm Birkett.

David Brown.
Next to you I think is Joe Speakman, and immediately behind Joe is Harry Brown.Was Harry any relation to you?.

No he wasn't, but coincidentally my dad's name was Harry.
