Dodworth Colliery Brass Band and a tribute to Graham O'Connor
Dodworth Colliery Brass Band held a Christmas Concert last night; Saturday 21 December, at the Dodworth Methodist Church - better known to some as 'The Top Chapel'.
The event was a great success and was enjoyed by all who attended, including the band members.
Traditional music was played and familiar Christmas Carols sung.
The Musical Director was Eliot J Darwin who stepped aside from his more familiar role to be a Cornet Soloist and play 'You Raise Me Up'. This performance was dedicated to the memory of Graham O'Connor who recently passed over and whose funeral service was held at St Johns Church, Dodworth. The performance was magnificent, stirring, very well received by an appreciative audience, and a fitting tribute to a man who did more for the art of brass band music in the village than anyone else has ever done.
The passing of Graham O'Connor will not go unmarked, he was a favourite son of Dodworth who inherited a love of brass band music. He was saturated in brass band music from an early age, passionate about it, involved in it all his life, and for a time he was leader of the Dodworth Brass Band, at which time he had great success. A memorial event is to be held in his honour, and it is intended that further tribute will be paid to Graham at that time.
Rest in Peace Graham.
