Nene Valley Community Band wish to share their deepest sympathies with the family and friends of Margaret Brown who sadly passed away this week.
An active member of the band, Margaret played pretty much every saxophone going at one point or another and was always there to help guide new members.
We were lucky enough to see Margaret at our October concert and all of us will have happy memories of playing alongside her.
