1887 :

Golden Jubilee year, Rothwell Times reported "doubts whether the Rothwell Bands would be able to attend the celebrations on June 20th owing to previous offers of service elsewhere. We are pleased to hear today however that there is every probability that one if not both of these excellent organisations will be present." But apparently only Rothwell Old Band attended the local events, and the Temps played at Armley on the Saturday of the celebration and at Ripon on the following Wednesday.
