In the 1980's the band made two records and they have been digitised and released in 2014 as a CD. Les Maw was the conductor. This CD is a wonderful look back at how the band sounded in the 80's. Click the player at the bottom of the page for a snippet of 'Blaydon Races' played by Jim Butler. Jim retired from our band in 2024 and moved south to be near his family. He is still playing with more than one band and visits us regularly.
