SIR – I have been most interested to read recent correspondence regarding this traditional music in the T&A. As Chairman of the Friends of Prince of Wales Park in Bingley, I am organising the 150th anniversary of the Park, from it being opened on June 6 in 1865.

So, to the very day, on Saturday June 6, 2015, a major family event will be held in the Arena area of the park. Various forms of entertainment have been booked, with schools to sing or perform drama, and local organisations have become involved.

As the official opening, in 1865, included a brass band, I would like to repeat that, even if only a brass quartet could be available. Please contact me at allan.mirfield@blueyonder.co.uk if you are able to help.

Allan Mirfield, Grange Road, Eldwick
