Comments: What a fantastic evening at St Marys, Ecclesfield. The Proms for the second half went down a treat. The band was on top form which befits a sellout audience. Hoping for two concerts next year. Happy Christmas to all the band.

Comments: My family came from Emley. Four brothers - Fred, Albert, Harry and Owen all played in the band until about the mid 50's. For the ones with a long enough memory they will remember that Harry and Albert both won the World Concertina Championship at the Albert Hall in the late 40's. A long history of Emley music makers!

Did you have a drummer in the band in the 1930's by the name of Gardner. If so this would have been my Grandad.

His first name was Frank, Thanks, David J Tyas. - We will have a look into this for you Dave!
