My gt uncles were on ships during that time. I've checked a few merchant lists and returns to see when during the period you think it may be, there were 10 piece bands on that ship. So far, 1901, 1903, 1906, 1907, 1908. Other years up to 1914 had 7 piece bands. This 10 piece included a bugle player and they all doubled as stewards, apart from the bandleader. On that note and following those dates - the bandleader in this picture could be either Richard Jeremy, born London 1876 or William Perrior also born London, in 1873. I've seen a picture of Richard's brother from WW1 and there is a similarity. But of course, I could be wrong as he also had a fine mustache... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-88006539573502698242019-05-21T15:52:05.941-04:002019-05-21T15:52:05.941-04:00I wondered how you would link ships and musicians ...I wondered how you would link ships and musicians , but never thought of ship orchestras - though few of them look happy to be at sea!ScotSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412874349376253984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447020772809150478.post-69737880735985001642019-05-19T09:28:56.222-04:002019-05-19T09:28:56.222-04:00Glad to see another scholarly post of our history....Glad to see another scholarly post of our history...and musicians!
