The friends of Camelford Town Band raise funds to support the band in as many ways as possible and the most recent purchase is a new Taylor Phat Boy flugel horn at a cost of £2,500 for longstanding band member Megan Stedman, who has been with the town band since the age of seven. Megan is one of the regular soloists in the band and is delighted with this top quality instrument. It was no surprise that at a recent band concert, Megan's solo on the new flugel brought tears of emotion and pleasure to at least one member of the audience. Anyone wishing to support the band can join the friends by contacting John and Mary Pearce on 01840 212665.
