Fomer Michelmersh member, Jeremy Topp, married Kate Ivey who he met while competing in the West of England Championships in Torquay. Jeremy - son of Michelmersh Bandmaster Michael Topp and his wife Claire, started his musical life playing tenor horn for Michelmersh Silver, before moving on to play for Andover-based Test Valley Brass.

When competing in the West of England Championships, Test Valley Brass shared a hotel with the Portishead Town Band from Somerset and it was here that Jeremy met fellow tenor horn player Kate and found someone to share his love of music and his life.

The 'Wartime Melodies' concert at the Plaza is a sell out and a great success.

Wilf Parsons, member of Michelmersh Silver Band for 76 years, died on 9th January. Wilf maintained his interest to the last, enjoying MSB's recent contesting successes as much as the players, and conducting the band as an honoured guest last summer at the opening of the newly constructed bandstand in Romsey. Current Musical Director, Brian Kelloway led the band in a minute's silence as Wilf's death was announced at rehearsal, and paid tribute to Wilf's legacy of a generation of brass players taught and encouraged by him.

Hampshire Association for the Care of the Blind benefited from a concert at Romsey United Reform Church. This performance was particularly important for the band as it was the Premiere of a piece commissioned by the band, composed by Roger Andrews. The piece, entitled 'The Michelmersh Suite - A Village Trilogy' was written to reflect the various facets of life in the village: the bustle of the brickyard; the cool river flowing through; the lively rhythm of a village dance, all come through in the music. All in all, a successful evening helping to raise money for this worthy cause.
