The following list of players participated in Agnes Street Temperance Silver Band's winning performance at the British Open Spring Festival (Senior Cup) in 1955 at Belle Vue. The test piece was Thames Valley Suite by Henry Geehl, arr. by Frank Wright. Thanks to Tony Malone for providing this list of names. Comments and corrections welcome!

Obviously Tony Malone is still alive. Others I know of are John Carleton, Ernie Ruddock conductor of CWA,Ken McDowell who went into singing and became one of Belfasts great rhythm and blues singers. I am certain Billy Hughes is still alive. I joined in 1959 as a learner and most of these players were still in the band
