…A town band needs a bandstand and White Crescent reserve was the obvious place for one. It belonged to the company and the question was asked: Would they dedicate it to the people of Kandos?…
This article by Colleen O’Sullivan appeared in the Mudgee Guardian, 30 June 2014.
Information about Kandos Town Bands came from early editions of the Mudgee Guardian and Lithgow Mercury, Bev Robbins, and Glen and Rose Evans.
The featured image of the Kandos Band was taken in 1966 for the Kandos half-centenary. sourced from Rose and Glen Evans.

Four things about me. I like reading, writing, researching and living in the country. In particular I like living at Kandos, where we have been for more than a decade. I have deep roots in this part of the country. My mother spent her early life in Kandos. My father was born at Rylstone. My grandparents were pioneers of Kandos and Rylstone. And I was born at Lue - and went to school in Mudgee. The history of this area excites me and I would like to share it with you.
My monthly blogs are posted on the 1st of each month. However I intend taking a six-month furlough from blogging to continue a project that has been sitting on the shelves for too long. Also, after 71 posts and 59 articles I feel a bit stale. I posted my first blog in May 2017.
There is plenty to read on this site. If you are looking for a particular person or subject use the Search function. My last post is scheduled for 1/3/2022.
If you pressed "Follow" and gave your email address, the blogs will be sent to you when I return.
Thank you readers for your interest, comments and support.

I played the second cornet in that band when I was 8! (1967 – just missed the photo). When I stopped playing, I was too scared of Mr Byrnes to return my borrowed cornet. Ray Paxton

Ray I had to laugh. A few library books came to mind. Hope you are still playing. You were probably there with Glen Evans.
