Longterm band member Roy Booker sadly passes away
It is with deep sadness that East Woodhay Silver Band announces the death of former band member Roy Booker. A loving Father to East Woodhay's solo horn player Rosemary Gittins.
The Band's Chairman Konrad Firth, conveyed his sincere condolences felt by all at EWSB.
"Roy played with East Woodhay Silver Band for a good number of years. He started playing in 1968 and retired in 1998. He always played the tuba and he only started playing because he had to transport Rosemary and her brother Pete to band. He decided that he would learn to play a tuba and read music at that stage.
He retired from playing when the new instruments were purchased using the lottery grant around 1998. He continued to support the band as much as he was able in recent years.
Our condolences go to Rosemary and her family at this sad time."
