1980 | Date | Event | Time |
---|---|---|---|
1980s | Concerts prior to 1988 listed here are from a collection of programmes, personal memories, correspondence, or the chance appearance of other documents detailing the event (e.g. local paper cuttings.). Concerts from 1988 onwards also include details from the accounts books, so some charity concerts may be missing due to the band not receiving any payments. In addition the accounts sometimes only record the payment date, which could be a number of weeks after the concert. The band also provided a "bugler" to play last post & reveille at church services for Gravesend branches of Royal British Legion, Normandy Veterans Association, Royal Air Force Association (Milton Church for Battle of Britain service), Memorable Order of Tin Hats (M.O.T.H.) Pierre Le Chene, and occasionally funerals. |
