As the band gathered to play Carols on Sunday 9th December they were saddened to learn of the passing overnight of their previous conductor John Mattock. John was part of the group who were responsible for the reforming of the band and in addition to being the band's conductor for many years, he also played cornet.
When ill health meant John could no longer play with the band he would regularly be seen at engagements and the family connection remains with his Grandson being the Band's percussionist.
John remained as a Vice President of the band and was due to join with the band to help collect as they play their annual carols for the shoppers at Lutterworth Co-op on Christmas Eve.
John’s funeral takes place at Bruntingthorpe Church, the village where he lived, on Tuesday 18th December when Lutterworth Town Band will be joined by members of Fleckney Silver Band, a band with which John also had associations prior to the reforming of Lutterworth Town Band. John and his family will continue to be remembered by all in the Band at this difficult time.
