This Craghead Colliery Band has no connection with Reg Vardy, who were know as Craghead Colliery prior to 1969.
If any results appear here pre-1970 then they belong to <a href="http://brassbandresults.co.uk/bands/reg-vardy-band/">Reg Vardy</a>. Please let us know and we'll change them (it's a semi-automatic process and sometimes gets it wrong).
