Now I know when the picture was taken and where, but what suddenly attracted the attention of the crowd is lost in time.
We are in Castlefield, on Camp Street during the Steam Exposition at that point in time when British Rail had surrendered the old Liverpool Road site for a £1 but before the Science and Industry Museum moved in.
And on that sunny day in 1980 a collection of old steam locomotives, traction engines and a host of vintage cars and buses gathered.
So it is quite possible that while the band played on something with steam was passing by.
Of course some will remember, and maybe the same person will notice that I have added the wrong date to the photo credit.
No matter I was there.
Location; Manchester
Picture; The band played on, 1980 from the collection of Andrew Simpson
