Hathern Band

Stuart Evans

Jun. 26, 2018

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you of the sudden death on Tuesday 26th June 2018 of Stuart Evans.

For those of you who don’t know Stuarts full banding history with Hathern, he joined in the mid 1950’s as a very young boy (there are some lovely photo’s of him on the band room wall). He was part of the 1969 Band who qualified for the National Finals in London, part of the 1984 Band who qualified for the National Finals in London, this time playing at the Royal Albert Hall, through to being part of the Hathern Band who won the 2nd Section National Finals in Harrogate in 2004. He was a big part of the Bands success from the mid 1990’s in their rise from the 4th Section through to the Championship Section. Stuart was a very fine baritone and after taking a short break from playing returned to playing in our Concert Brass.

With a dry sense of humor and a ready wit, Stuart was never short of a quick line to make us all laugh.

Rest in peace Stuart, we’ll all miss you very much.
