Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway - Horwich Railway Mechanics Institute Band

In 1912 George Hughes, the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the L and Y Railway, decided to form a first class brass band. The band?s crowning achievement was winning the Crystal Palace competition on 23rd September 1922.

Unfortunately, due to the recession and subsequent lay-off of its members, Horwich RMI Band collapsed as a concert band in 1931. In the intervening years, they were something of a legend.

But no songs, I'm afraid.
