  • Boddingtons Bitter Had Been Produced As Ttthis Was Written
    BODDINGTONS BREWERY DOUBLE GOLD FOR ROBBIES FESTIVAL GLORY FOR LOCAL 1778 - 2005 FAMILY BREWER STOCKPORT’S family brewer, Frederic Robinson Ltd, is basking in glory after Old Tom won two top awards at CAMRA’s National Winter Ales Festival, held at Man- RR.II.PP. chester’s New Century Hall last month. The legendary 8.5 per cent alcohol-by-volume strong ale, which has been brewed continu- ously since 1899, not only won the barley wine category but then went on to win the overall title of ‘Supreme Champion Winter Beer of Britain’ by a panel of tasters including beer writers, brewing industry professionals and officials from CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale. The competition was split into three categories, stout and porter, old ales and strong milds, and barley wines. The judging panel then had to narrow down the selection to just two beers from each category before selecting the supreme champion. At the announcement, Steve Prescott, Or- ganiser of the National Winter Ales Festival congratulated Robinson’s on their victory. He said, “Old Tom is no stranger to awards. It’s a fabulously rich beer and thoroughly deserves the top prize.” BODDIES SHUTS AT LAST HE LAST BREW of Boddingtons Bitter had been produced as TTthis was written. The historic Strangeways Brewery will now close despite a valiant, but ultimately doomed, campaign to save it by unions, local press, the City Council and CAMRA. Mike Benner, Chief Executive of CAMRA said, “Beer has been brewed at Strangeways since before the French Revolution and global owners InBev have lost their heads if they think the people of Manchester will treat Boddingtons brewed in Lancashire and Wales with the same fondness.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.
