| Introduction . . . |
| The villages of Carharrack and
St Day lie six miles southwest of Truro. There has
been a brass band connected with these two villages
since 1912. |
| Initially brass players were
predominately male, however, over the years this
has changed and today Carharrack & St Day Silver
Band has 12 female players and 8 bandsmen. Practice
takes place on Wednesday and Friday evenings under
the direction of Roy Trelease, the 17th musical
director of the band. |
| The villages lie at the heart
of what was once a thriving mining industry, with
some of the first practices taking place in the
outbuildings of Ting Tang Mine. To this day remnants
of this industry can still be seen in the abundance
of mine buildings in the area. |
| The music that Carharrack &
St Day Silver Band play demonstrates the fun and
light heartiness of this youthful group of musicians. |
