EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 20th February 1976, we are transported back to an era where dedication and passion were etched in every note. Meet Alec Gelley, a retired policeman hailing from Castlerigg Drive in Carlisle. For an astounding 35 years, he graced the Salvation Army Band with his musical prowess on the tenor horn. Alec's journey began in Bishop Auckland before finding himself in South Shields. However, it was in 1934 when destiny led him to Carlisle's Citadel Band, where he would leave an indelible mark through his soulful melodies. This snapshot captures not only a man playing an instrument but also encapsulates the essence of charity and religion that resonated within the Salvation Army. Dressed impeccably in their distinctive uniforms, these dedicated musicians brought joy and solace to countless hearts during their performances. Though Alec's age remains unknown here, his commitment shines through as he pours his heart into each note played on that faithful tenor horn. This photograph is more than just a nostalgic glimpse into the past; it serves as a reminder of how music can transcend time and touch lives profoundly. As we admire this image by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, let us celebrate Alec Gelley's remarkable contribution to both his community and the world of music—a legacy that will forever resonate with those who had the privilege of hearing him play.
