Boys' Brigade

The 46-year-old first saw the instrument played by a member of a police marching band when he was 18, and a trumpeter for the Boys' Brigade in Abia state, south-east Nigeria.

A new organisation called the Northern Ireland Boys' Brigade is to be established.

According to the terms of the split agreement, seen by BBC News NI, the Northern Ireland Boys' Brigade "would not actively seek to form companies in the Republic of Ireland".

But the agreement with the BB in the UK and Ireland means "Donegal companies will be part of the Northern Ireland Boys' Brigade".

"The Boys' Brigade in Northern Ireland does not hold doctrinal positions but respects those held by every denomination with which we partner," the document said.
