It is with extreme sadness, heartbreak and shock that the trustees, band members and all at Hatfield and Askern Colliery Band (HACB) process the news of the passing of Melanie (Mel) Kennedy.

Mel has always been an ardent supporter of HACB. Always willing, helpful and kind, yet at times a critic, always honest and most often correct.

We will all miss Mel so much.  Our hearts and love are sent to Stewart, Vicki and all Mel’s family at this extremely sad time.

Respectfully the written word cannot convey the heartbreak and sorrow we all feel at this time.
