I'm not sure if this is in the right section, but I'm actually looking for the name of a piece of music.

I'm told it's normally (traditionally?) played as the "Chelsea Pensioners" walk in at the Festival of Remembrance in the Royal Albert Hall.

Anyone any ideas what I'm on about?

It's called:

'Boys of the Old Brigade'

It certainly is an IRA Song as well...

........but the march, 'Boys of the Old Brigade' is what the Chelsea Pensioners march on to at the RAH Festival of Remembrance.

Yep, right name - wrong composer! Try Myddleton.

This is all very confusing.

I found several websites that said that the Chambers' one was used by the Chelsea Pensioners. But after looking for Myddleton I found more that siad it was his one, and it does sound more familiar, so thanks.

ps can we start a campaign to have these things uniquely named?

The Boys' of the Old Brigade - Myddleton IS the one you are after! NOT and I repeat NOT the Chambers.

I really hope that you mean an RMB Librarian?? What would a Bootneck PWI Librarian know about Mr Myddleton?
