		Obviously they have never heard of the gallant HMS CAMPBELTOWN, a superanuated destroyer which, in the deep twilight of an otherwise undistinguished career, still managed to bring her very own version of 'shock and awe' to the supposedly impregnable U-Boat base of Saint-Nazaire, France.
		Chosen to be the 'explosive' ship at the heart of 'CHARIOT' because of her age, unreliability and general expendability, she, under the inspired direction of Lieutenant Commander 'Sam' Beattie, VC, RN, raised her game to the point where she performed faultlessly on the night, her success more than compensating for failures elsewhere.
		Evidence of the fire on the fo'c's'le is obvious, as is the degree to which the old destroyer's bow rode over the massive structure of the caisson, placing her 4.25-ton charge right next to the caisson face.

	About Us
		About Us Campbeltown Brass was formed in 1983 from brass players in the Campbeltown Grammar School Concert Wind Band, which itself had been formed just 5 years earlier after the appointment of Gordon Evans as the first full-time brass and woodwind instructor in the local schools.
		Gordon was the musical director of the band since its formation and in 1993, was awarded the MBE for his services to music in Campbeltown and in 1997, the Mortimer Medal by the Worshipful Company of Musicians for his work in training young brass musicians.
		Unfortunately the need to leave Campbeltown to employment or further education, means that the majority of the players leave town after finishing school and the band still relies almost entirely on youngsters from the Grammar School for its membership.
