American music played by a United States Regimental Band now stationed in Northern Ireland. Conducted by Warrant Officer P. Latey
This American Regimental band was founded about a hundred years ago. Like all American military bands, it has more brass than most British Army bands. Besides playing at military functions, members of the band also form a fifteen-piece dance orchestra, a woodwind ensemble, and a six-piece concert group. Some of the members were with famous bands in America before the war. P. Latey has been the conductor for several years, and has himself written music for Army bands.
