Holtwood Mission Band (HMB) are a group of musicians and vocalists for whom I’ve been a guitarist and songwriter since 1977 although the Band itself was formed in 1970 – so I’m still the new boy!
HMB was formed in 1970 to provide worship and evangelical opportunities for young people from Holtwood and nearby churches, many of whom had “grown out” of Sunday School but didn’t feel completely at ease with the more traditional forms of worship at that time. Since then many young people have passed through the ranks of HMB before leaving the area for university, work or marriage, although a core of the original membership remains with some of the “youngsters” now, well, of mature years! HMB is always on the look-out for new recruits, either vocalists or musicians. If you’re interested please send me an e-mail to peter@peter-aston.co.uk
