OK!!! So I said Orchestral! He is playing an ORCHESTRAL Instrument even though it's a Mil Band. Should NOT be wearing the Apron, He's improperly dressed.
Put him on Defaulters and punish him |

I can answer both of those.
1. I was but a bairn when this piccy was taken. The mowzer didn`t get cultivated until approx 1982....doesn`t he look young,,,bless!
Another selubrious setting !!
2. As you quite rightly corrected yourself PABBERS it is a Milly Band set up which means the next number would probably have seen me sat behind a small factory (BBb Bombardon) which tends to cover you in industrial amounts of Gob....... or twanging away on a Bass guitar which being my own would have got scratched on the tunic buttons!!
MORE IMPORTANTLY if I didn`t wear an apron I would have had to clean my BRASSES !!
Bite any harder could I..........OR COULD I?? 
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH   .

..Crikey Melchy, you don't half come away with some over-intelligent words when you're addressing (in this case dressing) we bass players..
Thank Heaven for Google Search...
For those who can't be bothered...
if something is de rigeur, it is necessary if you want to be thought fashionable or if you want to follow a custom...

Cut a record I did with Chatham band in t'summer of 77. It were called 'Victory at Sea' and was part of one of a Reader's Digest' collection of Military Music. I still have a good vinyl copy of it which I intend to (eventually) didgitise.
Anyway, George Tate was playing his Double Bass on the record and it can clearly be heard as a very low (of course) rumble under the brass factories.
Lovely!
Just thought I'd share that with you...

My 'good friend' DW can be spotted next to Monns and beyond the whizzing arm & baton, I can see a fossil!

OK - this is a very ancient set of piccies of Fleet Band cruising in the Med... Circa 1972
Anyone recognise any of the shipmates?
For you Les, so that you can also get involved - what was the type of ship? Tough, I know - but you might be able to have a good go at it...
