A picture of Carharrack Band at Gweek Band Sunday, probably in 1960. Sitting in the front row, second from right, is a certain Tony Richards. Little did this young, rather scruffy, lad realise that when he was several years older (and several stones heavier!) the force of destiny would convey him to that peak of achievement that is the position of MD of the Gweek Silver Band!

Members of the band, probably playing carols around the village in the late 60s or early 70s?

Observant viewers will pick out Billy Orchard and Brian Branch!
