Hi there
Just wanted to make contact with you all, the members of
the Norwich Citadel Band. Since receiving our Appointment
letter to Norwich Citadel we have been looking at the Corps
& the Band Web sites and are very impressed by what we
see.
We are very much looking forward to coming to Norwich
in the Summer to become your new CO’s and becoming part of the
Ministry which is that of Norwich Citadel and Norwich Citadel
Band.
Every blessing for the months to come.

Town in the not too distant future? |

As a lad of 18, in 1941 or 42, I was conscripted to join
the army and had to travel from Oxfordshire to report to
Nelson Barracks in Norwich. The first thought was 'Where is
Norwich?' Eventually I arrived at what was then Nelson
Barracks which I believe no longer exists. After Initial
Training we were allowed out into the city and one Sunday
evening I heard a band playing in the street and of course
where there was a band I had to be, being an ex-bandsman
myself.
I found the band which turned out to be the Salvation Army
Band and I thought 'What a good band!'. Eventually they formed
up and marched off and I followed until they ended up at the
Citadel. All the people went in and as I walked past the door
a gentleman asked 'Would you like to go in, soldier?' and I
said that I was more interested in the band because it was
very good. He said, 'well are you a bandsman?' I replied,
'well yes, I play in local Silver band - I play Cornet'. He
said 'would you like to come in? - I'm sure they could fix you
up with an instrument', so in I went.
From then on, during my stay in Norwich, I played with the
band in the Citadel and although I could not play outside in
military uniform, every evening I was with the band in the
citadel one of the bands members' families took me home to
supper, which made such a difference as I'd never been away
from home before. After my war service in Burma first with the
Royal Norfolks and then with the Suffolk Regiment I feel I am
a bit of an East Anglian. Now in my 87th year I am able to
play with the Internet and I searched for Norwich Salvation
Army Band and I found your pages, it brings back so many happy
memories. Although I have never been back to Norwich I shall
never forget the friendliness shown to me.
Please read this out to the band or at one of your
meetings, wishing the band every success, especially with your
future tour of the USA and Canada this year.
Yours Sincerely,
Norman Rolfe.

May I add my best wishes to Ray in
his retirement from the Norwich Citadel Band. Having known Ray
and the family all my life, I've always been inspired by his
musicianship and his desire to always give of his best, a true
Christian. Best wishes to you Ray and for all your
encouragement. |

It was a great thrill for me to be back in Norwich with the
Bristol Easton Band. We enjoyed the fellowship and the
opportunity to spend time with you, but it was all too brief.
The hospitality afforded us was generous and we appreciated
the warm communication between us. We hope you were blessed by
our efforts and the able leadership of Col Pearce-Haydon. Look
forward to your return visit next year. God Bless you all as
you continue to work in the 'Fine City'. |

Greetings to Bandmaster Richard Woodrow and all the members
of the NCB.
There are many Sundays as I travel around the Northern
Division that I would dearly love to have the Norwich
Citadel Band supporting me as I lead worship. Your ministry
was always so important to us when we were your CO's.
Carelle and I think and pray for you often.
May God continue to bless the wonderful work and ministry
of Norwich Citadel.
With kind regards,
Ray & Carelle Begley

Greetings from 'Down Under' and in particular from Brisbane
in sunny Queensland. A number of names in the band are
'blasts from the past' from my days in London in the mid
to late 50's prior to my emigrating to Aus. Doug Beattie
and Bob Munn to mention only two. I sat with Ron Giles
in the Wood Green Band. Is he still of this world.
I would love to hear from him. Keep up the good
work. Regards. John Allen |

Excellent website . have visited Norwich on several
occasions with different bands. 1960's with Tottenham, 1965
Earlcourt and 1974 with Canadian Staff Band. I recognise many
of the names of the current band and note that younger members
carrying on the tremendous standard and tradition of the NCB.
Some of the band may remember me I played Soprano in all of
the bands listed above. Now playing in the reservists band on
Horn. Interesting to note that Deryck Diffey is playing
cornet, Deryck and I had some graet days in Tottenham and the
CSB. Anyway, great to see that everything is under control at
Norwich. |

I heard Mark Giles made an exit from the band!!
Unfortunate!! Keep up the playing Mark!! |
