John McAtee It is with deepest regret that the band has to announce the sad passing of John McAtee. John was a lifetime member of the band. He served the band both as a player and committee member for many years. He worked tirelessly on behalf of the band and was the Band President for 40 years. John passed away peacefully on Saturday 10th March 2018 in Strathcarron Hospice whilst surrounded by his family. He was a true bandsman, gent and friend. He will be sorely missed. |

We also played a number of Christmas carol sessions and the band would particularly like to thank both of the Tesco stores in Cumbernauld for allowing us to play festive music for their customers and for providing refreshments afterwards.
