Richard Evans Dies

Sad News for the Brass Band Movement

All of us at Wingates Band are devastated to hear about the passing of a true band icon, Mr Richard Evans.

Richard’s influence features prominently in our band’s history with his legendary win with Wingates performing Fireworks at the British Open in 1975.

As with so many others around the banding world, his presence, guidance, humour and friendship will be greatly missed. 

Thank you for everything Mr Evans
