Jim Watson
Jim ran the band for years, and was one of the older,
wiser members of the band. He made regular contributions
to the band funds so that they could look and sound
better than ever. He is still sadly missed (and not just
for his money). Gone but not forgotten.

William Duncan
Wee Willie was also one of the older members and was
very well known with his fellow band mates. His son is a
member of the band and plays the flute, like father like
son. Gone but not forgotten.

BIG BILL CAMPBELL
Big Bill was a founder member of Bridgeton No Surrender
Flute Band. Unfortunately he had to leave his place in
the band and spent a some years in jail. On his release
he became a good friend to all the members again and you
saw the big man wherever B.N.S.F.B went. He was always
sporting a big smile when the band went past. His family
are still active supporters of the band and the band
also proudly carry a bannerette in his memory. Gone but
not forgotten.

Brian Walker
Brian was a character who was well known everywhere he
went, which would have usually been the pub as those who
knew him would agree as he liked a drink. We know he met
a lot of people in bars over the years as strangers
still ask the band where he is. He still has a brother
and nephew in the band today. Gone but not forgotten.

George Edgar
George ran the band for many a year and he had great
respect from all the members. When he talked people
listened. It is tragic that he was taken from us too
soon. Those who knew him will never forget him and those
who didn't know him wish they had. Gone but not
forgotten.

Robert McVey
Robert was a cymbal player in the
band for a short time while his dad played the side
drum. Robert left the band and followed the band
for many years until he was tragically taking from all
of us by murdering cowards. Gone but not
forgotten.

LEST WE FORGET
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
and in the morning we shall remember them.
For God and Ulster
