In the new issue of the BBC Music Magazine, there is a very good in depth article about bandstands in this country.
It is true that until a lottery grant came in, 1990s(?), since WW2, bandstands gradually fell out of use. Since the funding, bandstands have gradually seen a resurgence in their use, which is all good, for outdoor concerts etc.
Has anyone a favourite? I think mine has to be Eastbourne. Probably one of the biggest in the country!
