Tony May… Here is one for our ‘older members’! (lol) I’m having a sort through due to Lockdown and came across this business card in amongst my Grandfather’s things. Does anyone remember ‘The United Players Band’? I suspect they may have an association with the Salvation Army and date from the 1950’s but I could be wrong…
