Rushden’s New Military Band-The new Rushden Military Band which made such a decidedly successful debut at the concert for the Rushden Relief Fund.
The band is quite a new departure for Rushden, and includes many talented musicians. Its future, is assured, under the capable conductorship of Mr H J Baker.
