Trustee Lynne Lees said:

"This iconic, centrally based Grade II listed building has now been returned to the community for Porthleven Town Band and we couldn't be happier.

Lynne continued:

"Close to our thoughts throughout the whole process were two greatly missed Trustees Russell Cowls and Alec Oliver and we pay tribute to their commitment and dedication to PTB over the years."

The sale was guided by Emma Mather and a special thanks were issued for her constant professionalism and assistance in the process.

Lynne added:

"This building is no longer a second home, it will be filled with our players, the people of Porthleven, making wonderful music for generations to come."
