Following the death of Paul Sargent, I have received the sad news from Vanda Kirk, Eric Kaye’s daughter, that he passed away on Tuesday. Eric played Bb bass and was also a member of the All-Conquering Band of 1961. Apart from his musical interests, he was a skilled cricketer with both bat and ball and the fount of all knowledge on local airfields publishing a nationally acknowledged book on the subject. He enjoyed two lengthy spells with the band before an accident at work forced him to stop playing his bass. He still maintained an iinterest in the band and arranged a concert at Moreton Fire College by the band in aid of the Wellington Air Museum at Moreton. He also arranged a visit by Stour Concert Brass to his village of Epwell when everyone was coming out of Covid Restrictions.
