The band owes a great deal to Lee, who was instrumental in its formation in 1995 and has made several creative contributions since then.

The Sapphire City Concert Band was established out of a desire to combine a love of music with the desire to serve the people of Inverell by providing them with a source of joy and entertainment. The band’s identity and sense of togetherness owe a great deal to Lee Evans’ dedication and musical prowess, as well as to his ability to inspire the other members to give their all.

Lee Evans Obituary, Founding Member Of Sapphire City Concert Band, Inverell, NSW Has Sadly Passed Away – Death – The world obits – Breaking News in USA Today


 

Lee Evans Obituary, Death Cause – The Sapphire City Concert Band is mourning the loss of a cherished friend, esteemed musician, and founding member, Lee Evans. It is with heavy hearts that we reflect on Lee’s passing this week, as we remember the instrumental role he played in the formation of our band back in 1995. Lee’s enduring legacy and contributions have left an indelible mark on our musical community.

In 1995, a group of passionate musicians came together with a shared vision to create something extraordinary—the Sapphire City Concert Band. Among the visionaries was Lee Evans, whose passion for music and dedication to the community laid the foundation for what would become a vibrant and beloved musical ensemble. As a founding member, Lee’s commitment to excellence and his love for the art form set the stage for the band’s success over the years.

Lee Evans not only helped establish the Sapphire City Concert Band but remained a steadfast and beloved member throughout the band’s journey. His enduring commitment to the band and his fellow musicians was a testament to his love for music and the sense of camaraderie that defines our musical family. Lee’s presence at rehearsals, performances, and community events enriched the band’s culture and contributed to its success.

As a musician, Lee Evans brought his unique flair and skill to every performance. His passion for playing resonated through the melodies, adding depth and character to the band’s collective sound. Lee’s dedication to his craft and his ability to inspire fellow musicians were instrumental in shaping the Sapphire City Concert Band into the vibrant musical entity it is today.

The news of Lee Evans’ passing is a personal loss for every member of the Sapphire City Concert Band. Beyond the shared love for music, Lee’s warmth, humor, and genuine camaraderie created a sense of family within the band. His absence leaves a void that will be keenly felt, and we mourn the loss of a dear friend and talented musician.

To honor Lee Evans’ memory, the Sapphire City Concert Band will pay tribute to him in our upcoming performances. The music will carry echoes of his passion, and the camaraderie he fostered will be remembered fondly by every member of the band. In celebrating Lee’s life, we ensure that his musical legacy lives on, inspiring current and future generations of musicians.

The Sapphire City Concert Band extends heartfelt condolences to Lee Evans’ family and loved ones during this difficult time. We share in their grief and hope that the music he helped create brings comfort and solace. Lee’s contributions to our band and community will forever be cherished, and his spirit will continue to resonate through the music we play.

As we say goodbye to Lee Evans, we do so with gratitude for the music, friendship, and inspiration he brought to the Sapphire City Concert Band. His legacy will endure in the notes we play, the memories we share, and the continued vibrancy of the musical community he helped establish. May Lee rest in peace, surrounded by the harmonies of the music he so passionately loved.

Lea, John Honeysett replying on Andrea’s Facebook page.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Peter’s passing.

Spraddy was a giant of a man in every respect. In 35 years in the cops and as Peter’s Local Area Commander at Mudgee I had the honour of meeting and working with one of the best Cops ????‍♂️ you would find anywhere in the world. A very special and funny man with a generous manner. A heart of gold who cared for so many people from so many walks of life.

A true role model of what a real copper should be. We need more Peter Spradbrows out on our streets. The world would be a better place.

To this very day I consider myself so fortunate to have been extended an invitation to Spraddy’s Shed for many a famous card night.

Where else would the LAC be invited to enjoy a night with the troops and be so well accepted. I was truly blessed to have had a taste of Spraddy’s famous rabbit rissoles. I have so many fond memories of Peter’s humour and sayings.

Rest in Peace old mate. You have served your community well.

Lea and family I know you have a lot of pain at the moment but you can be well and truly proud of Peter. A great bloke and a fair and honest cop.

28 Oct. 2023


 

Vale Peter Spradbrow
Peter was a coach and manager of our junior teams in the mid 2000s along with a number of central west rep teams as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Peters family and friends at this time..RIP

Former long-standing Hunter Labor MP and state government minister Richard Face has died, aged 80.

Mr Face, whose full name was Jack Richard Face, died on Tuesday night after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

The former police officer held the seat of Charlestown for 30 years, a period that is believed to be a record for any state or federal MP in the region.

He held the Gaming and Racing Portfolio in the Carr government between 1995 and his retirement in 2003.

Mr Face was also appointed to the role of Minister Assisting the Premier on Hunter Development, a portfolio that was later renamed Minister for the Hunter.

He was instrumental in the Hunter’s transformation over three decades.

This included the establishment of Glenrock State Recreational Reserve, playing a key role in the management of the Newcastle’s transition away from steel making and the establishment of the Hunter Beyond 2000 Committees.

He was also a vocal advocate for the construction of the West Charlestown bypass, the redevelopment of McDonald Jones Stadium and the establishment of the Windale Police Citizens Youth Club.

He was affectionately known as the ‘the father of the NSW Parliament’ when he retired in 2003.

“I have been given the honour to represent the people of Charlestown for 30 years tomorrow, having first been elected on the 18th November 1972,” Mr Face, who had four children and eight grandchildren, said on the eve of his retirement.

“During this time I have faced 10 elections and each time have been returned as the State Member for Charlestown and it has been a privilege to help and assist the citizens of this electorate.

“As for my record of achievement in my electorate it’s for others and history to say whether it has been one of success or not. However, of the things I have done or achieved in the electorate in the 30 years, it is declaration of the Glenrock State Recreation Area which has brought me the most satisfaction.”

Mr Face’s son Warwick said his father’s career was one of many highs and acknowledged challenges. This included being found guilty of misleading a preliminary hearing of ICAC in 2003.

“Our family is steadfastly proud that the ledger is very much in favour of the people of the great state of NSW, particularly the Hunter Region, and the electorate of Charlestown,” he said.

“Thank you Richard, Dad, Poppy, we all love you, time to Rest In Peace.”

Details of Mr Face’s funeral will be published in coming days.
