Another year ended, and last year’s ‘dots’ have been handed in. Having missed out in 2020, due to one of Boris’s famous lockdowns, our members have at last been able to visit The Savile Arms at Hunsworth to consume a quantity of alcohol (below the prescribed limit, of course) and our traditional end of year pie and pea supper.
The other good news is that we have played our last Christmas Carols for 2021, and can stop wondering who Yonder Peasant is until next Christmas.

Our regular fans and followers will remember Peter Hunter occupying the Solo Tenor Horn seat before he went to live in Ireland. However, you can’t keep a ‘Good Hunter’ down. Peter’s brother Ian has now joined WY Brass on 1st. Baritone. Welcome Ian. We hope you enjoy many years playing with your new band.
From Tuesday 4th. January 2022 the band will occupy a new rehearsal room during the winter months. Our new rehearsal premises will be at St. Andrew’s Church, Northcote Road, Undercliffe, Bradford. BD2 4QP.
It looks to me as though we may well be in our new home all year round.
. . . . . WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER
