Sunday Bandstand 4 August 2024

Derek Malcolm Garside was born in 1930 the, youngest son of Percy and Florence Garside. Shortly after Derek's ninth birthday his father asked him what he wanted to start and learn to play. This was asked as though it was expected he would play some kind of instrument, just as the rest of the family did. He gave the answer 'a trumpet' but he soon started on the cornet which was given to him by a family friend.

1941/42 he joined Clifton and Lightcliffe Band, from there he joined the cornet section of Brighouse & Rastrick. In 1947, aged 17, he was invited to be the principal cornet for the C.W.S. (Manchester) Band, under the direction of Bandmaster Fred Roberts. He was offered employment with C.W.S. Derek then showed his virtuosity, as a soloist on almost all of the recordings the band produced and his ability as a principal cornet. Derek passed away on July 28, aged 94.

On this show we are celebrating his life as one of the finest cornet players the brass band movement has seen.
