Long-shot, but I wonder if Tommy Percy (who was my tutor for cornet) was a relation? Lived at Easton Homes if I remember correctly '76 (ish).

@Bandsman1966 I have added your 'Long shot....... 76(ish)' in a comment to Michael Percy on the Bedlington Remembered Facebook group site. If he replies I will update this post.

Tommy was "old" then. Probably around sixty, but to a ten year old anyone over 40 was ancient.

@Bandsman1966 - on the Facebook group - Morpeth History Matters - I noticed this photograph, without names, posted by Bill Collingwood saying his dad & uncle were in the photo :- No 3 Bill Collingwood & No 20 Joe Collingwood.

Margaret Maylia also commented :- my dad is third from the right (No 33) Bill Leightley or some new him as Bill Tyler he played the double bass.
