I, like many others from that era and place, don't want to remember HIM.

Certainly is Dave Dawson at the head of the Band (Andy Crofts left a couple of years into my time there) so it would be in my time at Pembroke72/81, and as previously stated the right gig as well, probably late 70s looks like Charlie Miller on Bass on the dockyard gate side of the of the band, may even have been the one where dear old Rivs Howgill upset during the morning and I played half a beat behind him( Bass solo of Trafalgar included)all the way from Gillingham to Chatham made his hands bleed that he did not upset me again before a marching gig. I think it may have been almost his last one before he became TFs desk jockey and also fellow FM.

I can't remember if you were still there in 1981 Bob the old grey matter is dying off rapidly, but as I/C Corps of Drums I got a request for a Bugler for a Burial of an old shipmate from the main gate staff via the Band Sec.
Nothing unusual in that I hear you saying, but this particular 'Funeral' made the National Press, (the Sun, Star and Mirror)

Brian Peever was the D/M back in the early 70's on my first visit to Chatham Band.
