From Paul and Karl Jackson in New Zealand - a photo of the 1950's of the members of the OSB - the Oranjemund Silver Band. Karl mentioned that has not seen a reference to this band on the site so here it is. Thanks to Paul and Karl.
Back row: 1. Jack Hockney 3. Edgar Selby 4. Les Head 6. Mr Bruce ? 7. Charles West 8. Tommy Vinten
Second row: 1. Mrs Grigg 4. Mrs Rademaker (specs on) 6. Mrs Bruce? 11. Vi Hockney
Front row: 6. Alec Reece 7. Gordon Jackson 9. Bill Mitchell
Those Bruce's are they not RObert's parents? He is in here somewhere.....
The only names I know there are the Hockneys, Les Head (from the Lodge), Mrs Grigg, and then Edgar Selby...
resemblence between Jack Hockney and his son Toni Hockney is uncanny.
I have just seen this picture.
I can only recognise one Bruce in the photo who is my dad's brother, Philip. He is stood in the back row middle up from the left snare drum. Is that a young Mr Mead the baker seated to the immediate right of the second snare on the right?
Or is it Mr day?
Next to the recreation club , an area known as Lambs park was openend, a high wall around the area was built with boulders comming from the Gemsbok area . during the early years lambs park was the only eating place in Oranjemund .It was open every Sunday . Sometimes the Silver band played to entertain patrons. The place was called Lambs park after a creche . Tables were placed out , for families and their "lambs " to sit down at and enjoy the company , food and drink. The wall kept the lambs inside and safe . attached is a very bad Photo of another version of the Silver band - date unknown
perhaps somebody can add a recent pic of Lambspark ???
