The GSB at the Scouts' Duck Race, The Pennings, Eye - 23rd September 2023

The Gislingham Silver Band returns to do the Scouts' Duck Race at the Pennings, after a few years' break thanks to Covid and a lack of contact details. Before that, we head to the band hut so that Fred can swap his tiny band jacket for one that actually fits - after trying on one of the old jackets from the 1960s.

next album: The Waverley Paddle Steamer at Southwold Pier, Suffolk - 27th September 2023
