Hi Yackety Daughter.
Time for me to come in on this one, first of all welcome to the madhouse that is known as the Forum, sorry it has taken a while but I have been away. I had the pleasure of knowing your father and brother Gary. I served with Gary at Deal in the early to mid 60s, now I will show my age I was in training at the same time as your Dad although he was a little older than me.I served with him at Eastney and HMS Pembroke. As for the photograph's you have some knowledge but not on the dance band. It was probably taken in the mid 60s Graham Hoskins is the Bandmaster in the front. Front Row, Tenor Sax's ???, Bill Williamson, Alto Sax's Pat Tevis, Bob Loft, Baritone Sax Guess Who.Trumpets ????? Dave Stockham,Charlie Soloman, Maxie Beare, Trombones, Paddy Mailey, John Sharpe, ??? not me I did not wear glasses in those day's could have been Chick Haynes?? I hope this is of use to you and maybe someone can fill in the gaps. Adios for now from Sunny Spain

Hello Mr Bass
Great to hear from you. I don't know if you know but Gary also passed away 6 months after my dad, he faught a long time with Cancer... and was even unable to attend my dad's funeral.
It's always good hear names that I remember dad talking about... so a big hello from me!
