Peg De Winton has been a member of the Hamilton City Brass Band forever, so it seems. She began playing brass instruments at about age 10, and continued for the next 80 years with no regrets. Now into her 90s she has decided to call it a day. Peg has played the B Flat Bass (largest instrument in the band and wow!! Just amazing. She would often joke that she would keep coming to band so long as she could carry it to the band hall herself! One thing is for sure, she has great lungs for being able to still play it!!
We salute you for Peg for her amazing effort and loyalty to Hamilton City Brass.
Thank you to Richard Lummus for the photography.
