Gillingham British Legion Invicta Military Band Concert – 1935
A musical programme for a concert by the British Legion Invicta Military Band at The Strand, Gillingham, on 28 July 1935.
Summer band concerts by the waterside were a popular pastime in the Medway towns between the wars, and the Invicta name echoes the motto of Kent itself.
Band and concert programmes sit happily alongside theatre programmes as a record of local entertainment, and this one will appeal to collectors of Kent and military music memorabilia.
