If you fancy a blow, looking to rejoin or know someone who is, drop us a PM for details. Rehersals Monday and Wednesday nights.

The Walkden and Eatons Farnworth bands merged in 2005, firstly to become Eaton Farnworth and Walkden Band and later becoming Farnworth & Walkden Band with the closer of Eatons Transmissions factory in 2007.
