Charlie Rhodes (1950-1959)

Charlie Rhodes had been an Army bandsman, being trained at Kneller Hall, the Royal Military School of Music. He was always recognised as a brilliant musician, and played with many local bands. Even after retiring from the Police band, he could often be found 'listening' to practices at Hulse Road, Southampton and offering constructive and accurate criticism on matters of performance.
