Dalkeith & Monktonhall Band's front row cornet player Larry Blair has received a deserved Long Service Award from the Scottish Brass Band Association.

It is in the recognition of 50 years of outstanding service to the Scottish banding movement — all of which have been spent as a member of the band.

Presentation

He was presented with his SBBA Long Service Medal by Band Chairman and life-long best friend Jim Henderson in front of a sizeable audience at Dalkeith & Monktonhall's first public concert in almost two years, in St Mary's Church, Haddington, East Lothian.
