Swinton Band - where are they now?Page 2

Captions please, words fail me!	The "Posse" back in their natural environment
Kevin (cornet) and Will are now over the other side of Ryedale with Kirkbymoorside Town Band, so we can still admire their dancing skills at the Ryedale Bands Christmas party!	Kevin (bass trombone) has now moved across the Pennines and, after a spell at Besses, has joined Leyland, this year's National Champions!
Not exactly where is she now, but I couldn't think where else to put this photo of Lizzie's first efforts on euphonium!	What a contrast! This is just to remind Lizzie that there WAS a time up in Glasgow playing for Besses o' th' Barn - even if it is all a blur now!
An assortment of past and present Swinton players (Steve, Stewart, Tom, Mike, Frances, Helen, Maggie, Mary, Catherine with Lizzie behind the camera!) assembled at an ungodly hour of the morning at Birch Services on the M62 after the WhitFridays.
Yes, Tom, we know SLOB's uniform was a bright shirt, but you didn't have to upset the camera this much! Is this what Birmingham does to you?
We have sadly lost Christian, one of the newer recruits to learners. However Swinton's loss is, we hope, Denmark's gain, as he has gone there to train as a doctor. Remember, just don't be ill in Copenhagen!	Susan is now enjoying a the life of a student at Sheffield University - the student lifestyle evidently carries on when she's back with us during the vacs!
Preparing for a night at the Beer festival with a barbeque at Stewart's are Claire (regular Swinton groupie!), Frances and Edd, David and Nicolette, Tom and Hedley. Maggie is hiding behind Stewart, and Mary is skulking in the kitchen!
David has recently returned from a tour of duty with the Army in Iraq.	Lizzie lost no time in finding a congenial band the other side of the Pennines - Christmas playing with Timperley band was obviously a warmer affair than it is with Swinton! However, she moved on to pastures new with "Besses" and is still back on our books although working in London!
As will be apparent from the following photos of Bobbie....	Lucy.....
Frances.....	Rachel......
Jenny and....	John.... The answer to that question is all too often the same......Suddaby's !
Suddabys again, but here the real answer would seem to be Mortal Peril! Dave left us to play for Lockwood and enjoyed a very brief gloat after Malton Brass	While this picture was also taken in Suddaby's Lee is shortly off to warmer climes -about as far from Swinton as humanly possible! He's off to renew his love affair with Australian tractors.
And will this turn me into a bandmaster?	Danger-Experimental Archaeologists at Work! Helen smelting iron with Bradford University at Rievaulx. Stop Press - This is out of date! She is now working for the Crown Prosecution Service (be afraid!!) and playing for Crystal Palace Band
Here come the beer-monsters! Janella on tour in Belgium with Stape Silver. However at the moment after a well-earned rest from banding, she is now back with Swinton!!	Edd tries to find Frances a drink on a visit from the other side of the Pennines. They are now playing with Tyldesley Band.
Maggie-san with a fellow teacher in Ninohe, Japan. Maggie became only the second non-Japanese ever to participate in the All Japan Ensemble Contest! She is now playing for Crystal Palace Band	Swinton weds Stape! David and Nicolette marry at the Lodge, Malton with Tom as best man.
Four rabbits caught in the headlights! Tom is in Derby and Matthew in Scotland, while Peter is working in Manchester and playing for Tyldesley Band. Mary has moved to Bedford and is not currently playing with a band, though she gets to Swinton when she can!.
