The Tullis call goes out!

If you are an old Tullis Russell Mills player then the band would love to hear from you — especially founder members!

Tullis
 

2009 is the 90th anniversary of the Tullis Russell Mills Band and to celebrate the milestone various events are planned for later in the year.

Be a part

The management team at Tullis would also love to hear from all ex players so that they can be part of the celebrations too.

Get in touch

So if you have played or been involved with 'The Mill Band' in the past please get in touch with the events coordinator Steven Craig at
stevengcraig@hotmail.com

Given that former alumni include James Gourley (who is playing for the band at the Areas) it seems there could be quite a few players out there!Tullis Russell Mills

Details

Give him all your details as it is hoped to stage a Gala Concert in Glenrothes with the current band and a massed band with former players.
