15 wonderful brass band memories from Sunderland and East Durham

This week is Brass Band Week and the musical scene has plenty of history in the Sunderland area.

We tuned in to 40 years of photos from the Sunderland Echo archives.

You might remember these scenes from Broadway, Bexhill, Hetton and Houghton.

Just as impressive are these images from Easington, Seaham, Belmont and Murton.

Enjoy - and why not compose your own memories by getting in touch and telling us more.
