Harry Heaver Retires 12th January 2012

At the age of 93 and after 64 years in the band Harry Heaver has decided to hang up his baritone and take life easier. One of the band stalwarts, rarely missing rehearsals or engagements, Harry has seen many changes in the band throughout the years, very successful as well as difficult times. One thing never changing was Harry’s consistent support and commitment to the band, which earned him the respect and affection of his fellow bandsmen and women.

Since joining the band in 1947, Harry has played cornet, flugel, tenor horn and baritone, willingly slotting in wherever he was needed. We will all miss him as a player, he will be hard to replace.
