“ KILKENNY CATS ”
GOOD OLD BRITISH STYLE. LBV ELY DISCUSSION BY MASTERTON BANDSMEN. “We had seventy bandsmen there going it like Kilkenny cats; the arguments got heated at times, and there was much of the kettle calling the pot black,” was the manner in which one councillor at Tuesday night’s meeting of Masterton Borough Council described the recent meeting held, at which bandsmen met the band committee of the Borough Council to discuss band matters. Another councillor said that at one stage it looked as if the argument would “end outside in the good old British style,” while another remarked that one bandsmen held the floor for about 26 hinutes, “and would probably have been going yet had he not been sat on at last.
“It seems to he the peculiar temperament of musical people that they are generally looking for a row or a fight,” was one of the concluding remarks.
