Trevis: Only remember some of these bands 'cause my dad used to play bass fiddle with some of them, but he was mainly resident with Joe Rigby at the Ambulance Drill Hall. Learnt some of the old time dances from being very young. Happy memories of bass fiddle strapped on top of van and he plastering up his finger tips to prevent any abrasions.
