SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

Trumpet player is Dick Hawdon, who later became a professional musician. Amongst others he played in the bands of Terry Lightfoot and Johnny Dankworth. For many years he was Head of Brass Studies (I think that was the title of his post, but am open to correction) at Leeds College of Music.
