Kettering has been described as the town of boots & bands, and certainly no town of its size in the UK can claim so many famous bands in its history. Today this small south midlands town has a declining boot & shoe industry, but it’s Salvation Army banding tradition is being continued by the current Kettering Citadel Band. Gary Rose has recently taken over leadership of the band, following the retirement of Bandmaster Richard Phillips.
The Salvation Army use the term songster to refer to those members who are commissioned to sing in our choirs, called ‘Songster Brigades.’ When a soldier (member) of The Salvation Army wishes to become a songster, he or she signs an agreement and is subsequently ‘promoted’ to the rank of ‘songster.’
Songster brigades are led by a Songster Leader – in Kettering this is Adam Blyth assisted by a Deputy Songster Leader – Elaine Rayner. With Songster Sergeant Barbara Hobbs assisted by Assistant Songster Sergeant – John Stanyard.
