The Jackson Square Parade Band

The Jackson Square Parade Band was put together by Parade Marshall Terry Eastwood around 2004/5 but it only acquired its name in 2008. The normal line-up consists of Musical Director John Pashley from Yorkshire, on trumpet, Gerry Owen from Warrington on saxophones and clarinet, John Brunton from Burnley on soprano and tenor sax, Dave Parr from Manchester on Brass Bass, Dave Moore from Bury on snare drum, Louis Lince on bass drum, and Mike Pembroke on trombone.

Terry has 8 or 9 other musicians which from time to time he can call upon if someone is ill or on holiday. He himself leads the band in full New Orleans style regalia. The band is often in demand for funerals, but can do other engagements. For example, when required to do a reception after a funeral, he can adjust the band to suit. On these occasions Louis Lince can switch to banjo which most people are used to seeing him play, Dave Moore can bring in his full drum kit, and Dave Parr can switch to double bass.
