Kennington Band - 1973

Kennington (Oxford) Youth Band was founded in 1973. They were based in Kennington, just outside Oxford and were an immediate success winning many local and national contests as well as playing over a hundred concerts every year.

Kennington (Oxford) Youth Band were founded by Ron Sudworth who formerly played in Morris Motor's Band under Harry Mortimer (from whom he always claims to have learnt his trade).

Kennington (Oxford) Youth Band were renamed Kennington (Oxford) Band when all the players became too old even to vaguely call themselves youths!
