A photo of Alfred or Bert
Alfred & Bert
Alfred used to play the harmonica for the Chinewrde Marching Band and was very talented and able to play such beautiful melodies. Alf has given up his pleasure of the harmonica after Sophia’s accident; he has selflessly taken on an extremely important role instead - to make sure the band keeps their unique sound by ensuring that Sophia can still take part. Alfred pushes Sophia in the wheelchair (or whatever vehicle they manage to acquire) for each of her gig's and therefore has swopped an important role within the CMB for an even more important role!
Bert used to play the banjo for the band, but has in recent years been increasingly more involved in the roadie and driver positions. Bert is a fun loving guy who always has a smile on his face and joke ready to tell.
