This is interesting as Clayhanger had a Flute ( and Drum?)band..miners..at the turn of the 20th century. My grandfather played in this, I am told, and the band members wore a smart uniform. There is only one reference to the band – taking part in some celebration – in local newspaper archives. but perhaps local Clayhanger folk may have information. I wish the present Drum Corps Band every success
