Just had a well spent afternoon listening to some classic brass band literature. I’m only 17 and appreciate the heritage and message of the music, ministry and this site. My own Salvation Army collection of vinyl records has just grown to be over 150 records

Hi Ian. Just wanted to say thanks for recording and photo of Manchester Openshaw Songsters, being as I was on the record having just joined the Songsters from Singing Company which would have been 1965. It brings back so many happy memories of my time at the corps. I can remember most of the faces just an odd one that I can’t place. Keep up the good work.

Very good web site, thanks very much for putting up such a wonderful collection of Salvation Army Band, as well as their 78’s from the 30’s and 40’s. They had a unique sound and spirit of playing, especially during those years, which is rarely heard today. Regards

I have just recently been made aware of your site and I must say it reminds me of corps band practices and summer band camps. Nothing in my opinion sounds as good as a Salvation Army Brass Band. Thank you for sharing these wonderful memories.

Hi Ian. Since your site was recommended to me some years ago, I have been hooked, because every time I visit your site I also revisit some of the great days of Salvation Army banding andthe memories just come flooding back. Pieces of music scored many years ago, now sadly confined to many a band library archive, old favourites like Star Lake and Daniel. Thank you so much for the time and effort that you have put into this site. God Bless you Ian.

Its been over 25 years since I played a Double B in the Campsie Band but listening to these tunes has reminded me of band trips away, Saturday night programmes, Sunday night meetings, but most of all the special camaraderie that can only come from practicing and playing with some of the finest men I have ever known. Thank you for providing such a site that has done that for me.

Love your site Ian. Must be a lot of work for you, but the pleasure and blessing it gives to many people I hope makes the effort worthwhile for you.
