Yes, Wrigley Head did a couple of dances at the wake in the brewery. Members of Wrigley Head and John o' Gaunt were a guard of honour to accompany the coffin into the crematorium.
The U3A dance group musicians were responsible for the music at the crematorium, Bob piping him in with "a man's a man" and playing "over the hills and far away" at the end. Mike, Anne and I played for the two hymns.
At the wake we mainly sang, and ate, and toasted John's memory.
