    Musician Wanted

    I have been asked for my my help in procuring the services of a musical bloke for the final dine out of a Cav WO1 at a tri-service establishment near Catterick. Someone to bugle/pipe/drum him in would be perfick! The lucky bugger will be recompensed for his efforts of course. I have tried a couple of Arty regts in the area and tomorrow I'll try the ceremonial place at ITC Catterick. Can anyone offer any other decent contacts? It's for this Friday.

    Tried the Jock Guards in Catterick?

    They provided a Piper for our Mess.

    Friday! Nothing like preparing to fail is there?

    Give the Army School of Ceremonial a ring, they may have a suitable young lad who is approaching the end of their course.

    Failing that they should know of all the musical types nearby. There is also an RAC band (can't remember which one) based down teh road in Parva lines. You could try them, again they may be feeling generous, I think they are the heavy band, so if your 22 year bloke is the right capbadge they may feel the urge.

    The Royal Signals TA band is based near by too.

    I'd expect to have to grovel and possibly pay a fair whack to get someone at this notice.

    I know...why do I get put in charge of looking for rocking horse shit with a week to go, immediately before a bank holiday weekend?

    Tried ASC and got nothing to I may just have to stand outside the Mess and start playing the kazoo when he arrives. They were my best bet I reckon.
