Is that the Harry Bentham that taught some of the kids at Aspull Secondary Modern to play brass instruments?

Yes it was.

I suspect that the Headmaster, Mr Firth would have had something to do with Mr Bentham being there as he was very keen on Brass Bands.
Some of the pupils came from local Brass Band families and were glad of the opportunity of learning from Mr Bentham.
