Hi Nita, I remember your uncle! My Dad was in both Northfleet and Gravesend bands and they regularly had 'socials'. Your uncle, Albert Card, was often the Master of Ceremonies (MC) at these 'do's'. He was a very smart, dapper man with a great personality. I was only a small girl, but he made a huge impression on me. He was in Gravesend Band and there is a cartoon of him on their website.
Google 'Gravesend Borough Band' and look at the photos. Thank you for the lovely memory. Dee
My Uncle, Albert Card, had a dance band and used to play at the Royal Clarendon after WW2. My mother took me there to see him play. He was a very talented musician and had won the Nat Gonella Award for trumpet playing. Nita Jenkins
