On 23 June 2013, Marshside Brass Band played a concert for us in aid of the Organ Appeal, conducted by Peter Leary:

Conductor of Marshside Brass Band, Peter Leary was, before retirement, Principal Trombone of the BBC Northern Symphony Orchestra (now the BBC Symphonia) and leader of the Northern Brass Ensemble. But more than that, he taught our Organist, Mark Rawsthorn, to play the trombone whilst he was still at school, at what was then UpHolland Grammar School, now transformed into Winstanley College. More recently, it has become apparent that Peter was a school friend of a gentleman who, for the last 25 years or so, has been a friend of Mark’s!
