Major items taken include:

- Gretsch Renown Maple Drum kit, drums all in Protection Racket cases

- Various symbols and stands
- Two large bags full of various accessory percussion equipment and sticks
- Three wheeled travel cases (pink) full of black music stands in individual covers
- Two wheeled travel cases (blue) full on folders with music scores
- .... and much more ... !

If anyone is offered any equipment or instruments that you suspect might be part of the stolen haul, please get in touch with the band: KCB@orpheusmail.co.uk

Many thanks,
Ken McNaught

Update

On the morning of Wednesday 23 May 2012, South Kirby police found much of the band equipment having been dumped. The trailer, the two timps and the bass drum from the drum kit are still missing, but I understand items like the two large percussion bags full of items, a lot of the drum kit, music (I don't know how much yet - hopefully all of it) and a lot more has been found. The police have retained it for forensic purposes, but I am pleased to report progress already.

Our thanks go to South Kirby police.
