Help the Police!

Can you help the Cheshire Police Band with their enquiries.

 

The Cheshire Police band are seeking two "missing" instruments and would like some help from the genral brass band public for their return.

Departed

The band believe that they were loaned to former players (or their family members) and as happens, the folk who made those original agreements have long since departed so they need some help tracing them as they are needed for the current band.

Before we start trawling old records can I ask that any ex players or associates from the band who may know the whereabouts of the two missing instruments please contact as they are required for current members of the bandMD, David Woolam

Grateful

Dave Woolam told 4BR: "Before we start trawling old records can I ask that any ex players or associates from the band who may know the whereabouts of the two missing instruments please contact as they are required for current members of the band. We would be grateful for their return!"

Instruments

The wayward instruments are:

Bach Stradivarius Flugal Horn and a Sovereign BB Cornet serial 799923

Any leads can be put through to Dave on 0785 789 5674 or by e-mail to
