Biography[edit]
Douggie Reece. (born 18th January 1940 Kenneth George Gover) He was the youngest of four boys born to Alfred & Beatrice Gover. All his brother played with the Brecknock Silver Band also known as a Brass Band so at the age of eight he was taken along for one of the rehearsal nights only to end up with a cornet he had to learn to play. (His eldest brother Alfred went on to join the army and studying at Kneller Hall). In 1951 he went to Brecknock Road Senior School where he was drawn to the School Orchestra taking up and playing the violin. At this time he also joined the Sea Cadet Corps and played Bugle. His time playing the cornet when he was younger made playing the bugle much easier. ***Work in Progress***
