Description
"....William was the eldest son of William and Violetta Oughton and as a young cornet player with the Hetton Band in Hetton-le-Hole his solo performances were soon attracting the attention of the bigger named bands in the area. During the early 1920's he joined the legendary St Hilda Colliery Band as the assistant principal cornet player along side their famous cornet player Arthur Laycock. When the position of Principal Cornet became available in 1923 following Arthur's move to the Eastbourne Municipal Orchestra it was William who was promoted to probably the most famous and prestigious 'end chair' in the brass band movement at that time....." -
