Tamesides Whit Friday Brass Band contest remembering Brian Hill

Brian Arthur Hill 11th June 1955 - September 13th, 2018  Brian will be remembered at this year's band contest a contest he brought back to Dukinfield 23 years ago at the Tame Valley Hotel where he was the landlord and later on at the Albion hotel in Dukinfield.

  Brian was the Chairman of the friends of Tameside Brass band committee set up to fundraise and support Tamesides venues in the contest in times when grants to support the contest were being withdrawn due to Government cuts.
Brian and his committee made sure the contest continued in Tameside and we are confident we will go from strenght to strength in his memory.

At both Dukinfield venues, a special trophy will be won by the best local bands along with the cash prize. we all still miss Brian and his family will be in our thoughts on the night .
