I have that. In it is the photo of Briercliffe Brass Band with my gt grandad, which is on the site.

Are the people in the photo named? If so, can you provide details please?

No they aren't Kris, but my gt grandad is on the 2nd row back , on the right, seated with a trombone (I think). He was born in 1875 so if the year of the photo is right he would have been 40yrs old, I have had a good look but can't say if he looks that.
The book has a whole chapter on music of Harle Syke, and there were a few bands at one time, and a choral society, it does name quite a few people in those.
The book is a good read and well worth the money.
I must admit though, that the lady on page 10, reminds me of Les Dawson :wink:

1915 was my best guess, but it might be an earlier photo, perhaps circa 1905-1915.
