A FAMOUS BAND
ALLENDERS Cable Works Band, which is seldom heard over the air in New Zealand, but which is one of Britain’s best-kaown industrial bands, is featured in a special programme now going the rounds of the ZB stations. The band was formed under a different name in 1898, and, liké many famous bands, it had small beginnings. The Salvation Army Band at Belvedere, England, included a number of musicans who were employed at Callenders Works, and one of its favourite pieces was the march, Now or Never. This, however, was not published by the Salvation Army, and the musicians were collectively prohibited from playing it. Evidently the bandsmen decided it was "now or never," for 16 of them left and formed the Belvedere Baptist Temperance Mission Band. Afterwards it became successively the Belvedere Military Band, the Belvedere Excelsior Band and, finally, when Callenders Cable Works sponsored it, and took over its assets and liabilities, it became Callenders Cable Works Band. . The band was one of the first in England to broadcast, playing over the BBC in February, 1925. The programme featuring Callenders Band has already been heard from Stations 3ZB and 4ZB, and will be heard from 2ZB on Sunday, July 6, and from 1ZB the following Sunday,
