BARNSLEY Sea Cadets' fledgling band members are trying to drum up support for new instruments because they're having to share bugles and play on snare drums held together with string.
The sorry state of musical affairs is why the cadets, based on Racecommon Road, are appealing to the good folk of Barnsley for any donations of bugles, bell lyres, drums, cornets or trumpets. The band will happily take instruments that need repair, because to buy new, instruments can cost hundreds.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
