Death of Maisie Tutterthwaite


The Bandstand has been informed of the death of Maisie Tutterthwaite. The formidable woman made her name backstage at the Larkshire Area Contests where she would famously hit anyone who tried to warm up backstage over the head with a rolling pin.

She later went on to become an administrator of the Larkshire Schools Youth Band, where she rose to the position of Principal Nose-Poker-Inner and Child Bollocker. She has made many a young brass players early lives a misery. She will be sorely missed.

She died on Tuesday whilst decorating the Christmas tree at home. Whilst trying to position the fairy on top, the stepladder slipped and she fell face-first onto the tree. The top of the tree pierced her jaw and went through the back of her head, causing irreversible traumas.

Husband Norman Tutterthwaite told the Bandstand, "It's what she would of wanted. She looked so beautiful impaled on the tree, with the lights flickering and all that. There's still some of her blood on my baubles!"

Did we say she would be sorely missed?
