Upbeat tribute to bandsman James
ONE of Clough’s best known sons, renowned bandsman James McKay was honoured last week in a very upbeat way.
The community hall in the village was the venue for the official unveiling of a lambeg drum featuring his portrait.
James helped found the Clough Young Conquerors - now known as Clough True Blues Flute Band - and taught in it for many years.
Also a long serving member of Clough LOL 1096, James served as its secretary for some 50 years and was also honorary president of the Lodge.
