This week’s photograph shows a historic image of Bodmin Town Band from nearly a century ago.
Barrie says of this photograph: “This photo is the earliest photo known of Bodmin Town Band which was taken in 1927, years before I became a member in 1951.
“I started playing a Euphonium in the junior band and 12 months later I was playing the G Trombone in the senior band, under Mr WD Lawton who was a cornet player with Foden Motor Works band.
“I played the trombone until 1980 when I retired. In all those years I played amongst others contests all over the Country, many times at Bugle Contest.”
