Brass needed |
|
The day after we returned from a very happy
and successful tour to Latvia and Lithuania with the Lydbrook Brass
Band, my partner Trefor Evans tragically had his life taken from him at
the age of 36 as the result of the effects of Epilepsy. He had lived
with this terrible condition for 19 years. He was an incredibly brave and proud man who never let his illness prevent him from living his life to the full. Through his work as senior technician for the Gloucestershire music service, Trefor strived to give the youth of the community the best quality of instruments that was available to aid the next generation of musicians. He campaigned tirelessly for the reformation of the Gloucestershire youth brass bands which now as a result has a membership of over 100 players. Trefor was horrified to discover when visiting a small village in Lithuania that only five brass instruments were available with twenty children desperately wanting to learn. At that point, Trefor vowed to help these children by sending unwanted instruments out to them. My aim is to fulfil his last wishes by setting up a trust in his name with the purpose of collecting 100 unwanted brass instruments and accessories and to personally hand them to the children of Lithuania. Please, I need your help, if you have any unwanted instruments you would like to donate to this very worthwhile cause, please contact me :- Joanne Millin 07855 424550 or Trevor Moss 07974 429421 If you live some distance from Gloucestershire, don't worry, through the network of Bands people I'm sure we can arrange collection / delivery. |
