Uckfield Concert Brass has dedicated a bench in memory of former player Andy Bamford, who died in December 2020.

Andy, who played flugel horn, was nicknamed Pastie when he joined the band from the West Country in the 1980s.

The bench is in the garden at the Alma Arms in Uckfield, where UCB rehearses each Tuesday.

It was unveiled at an outdoor concert for the band’s friends and neighbours.

The band played an hour-long programme from the summer repertoire.

Thanks to the Alma Arms for laying on food for our guests.
