Billy Hensman - Rialto Accordian Band
I was browsing through your site and came across a couple of pictures of the
Rialto Accordian Band featuring Charlie Johnson. Charlie was a good friend
of my dad's and was in a band that played regurlaly at the Queens Hotel in
Keighley. I have enclosed a picture that i hope u will put on your site they
were known at the Queens as the Back Wall Band they are from right to left
Percy Littlewood [Drums], Charlie Johnson [Piano] and my dad Harry Wallbank
[Accordian]. Sadly they have all passed away now my dad only recently and I
thought it woud be a fitting tribute to include them on your site.
My dad - Harry Wallbank
was well known in Keighley as a musician he played Accordian, Piano and Organ, He played in and around Keighley in his time in pubs and clubs his longest being at the Queens Hotel , Rishworth Club Crossflats, The Goat atSteeton, Bocking Club Crossroads and The Welcome and Gardners Arms in
Keighley and many others. Anyway keep up the good work a very good site hope
