Deal Memorial Bandstand Trust look forward to welcoming the Band of HM Royal Marines back to Deal for the annual memorial concert and rededication

 

On 22 September 1989, the IRA exploded a bomb at the Royal Marines School of Music in Deal killing 11 musicians and seriously injuring 11 more. A bandstand was built on Walmer Green to remember the musicians who died, which hosted its first concert in 1993.

Today, with the generous help of sponsors and donations from the public, free concerts take place at the Memorial Bandstand from May to September, with the Royal Marines Band returning each July to perform to huge crowds and to perform a rededication to those who lost their lives.

 

Sponsored by Sgts Mess Pantomime, Riverside Catering, Perrys Dover, Jenkinson Estates, RMA Branch

Supported by Mr & Mrs Gillo and Mandy McMillan

They would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support and generous donations, all of which are used for the upkeep of the Bandstand and to stage concerts in accordance with the Trust’s objectives.
