There is no such thing as an, "Orange Lodge Band". Flute bands are entirely independent of any of Scotland's loyal orders. I admire your pedantry sir! But if you look at the details of the parade I'm sure you can understand how this confusion might arise https://www.bandparades.co.uk/event/grand-orange-lodge-of-scotland-7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The East of Scotland LOL normally have to have their party in Cowdenbeath, Tranent or some other shithole where the coal ran out generations ago. Incidentally the reason that they couldn't actually have their Jubilee parade on the weekend of the Jubilee was that the Meadows Festival happens on the first weekend of June 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 What's the 'truth'? Probably about Big Jock knowing them. They're obsessed with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one time when 'separate entity' actually works. Flute bands are just that. Sure, they are hired by the OO and other loyal orders but they also exist within their own eco-system. Hence the proliferation of 'band parades' that we've seen over the past 20-ish years. On 13/06/2022 at 08:24, topcat(The most tip top) said: I admire your pedantry sir!

While you 'admire (my) pedantry' you produce a list including a non-Orange organisation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
