Lily & Rose Blues & Royals Flute Band

The Band was formed in 2006 hoping we could revitalise the flute band tradition within the LOL and encourage younger members to embrace their culture.
The bands name is taken in honour and remembrance of the Blues and Royals who fought at King Williams side and lost many members following the IRA bombing outrage on the 2nd of August 1982. The motto “Nulli Secundus” means “Second to None” and though there are many who may feel this is arrogant, it truly isn’t as members are expected to be the best they can with our culture of excellence, we’re not there by a long way but we will keep trying!Our medium and long term ambition is to establish a band with as great a history as those that have gone before us and proudly display our Liverpool heritage in all parts of the United Kingdom.
