Just introducing myself, hoping to hear from people I've lost touch with over the years.

Doing the same thing now in the REME Band, Army with much more success than the last couple of years in the Marines.

Cheers Deli.

Things turned out alright in the end. Wasn't sure it would do but I'm enjoying my playing and thankful that I went through all the aggro of changing my embachoure, did me a favour.

Now I've found this site I might be able to keep in touch with old mates.

Hello Barny, long time no see!
Last time I saw you was at my brother's Pass out parade at Bordon (I think). You were in the REME band, which must've been about 12 years ago!

Good to hear from you
