CommentsPercy Cook - Trombonist in Municipal Band c1936?
published by - 9 years 1 months 2 days ago. | | | Percy Cook was my trombone teacher whilst I was a Junior Student at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama from 1970-1971. Later we became friends until his sudden death in September 1984. I'm hoping to write a biographical account of Percy's life as a professional musician. I do know that he was the Musical Director of the Grand Pier Orchestra at Weston-Super-Mare in the late 1940s and that he lived in Earlham Grove. In 1950 he joined the Scottish National Orchestra on 2nd trombone, latterly becoming Bass Trombonist until his retirement in the early 1970s. I know that his family are no longer in Somerset, because Percy's grandson has been in touch. | |

Tithe Maps can also be seen for the whole country on The Genealogist if you have a Diamond Subscription for it.
