I grew up playing cornet in Nailsworth Silver Band in Gloucestershire but then moved more into big bands during student years - culminating in supporting Slade at the Oxford Polytechnic Christmas ball in 1982! I then gradually stopped playing altogether for about 15 years until I was asked to book a brass band to come and play at my workplace, West Park Hospital in Darlington in 2006. Cockerton Band duly came and I took the opportunity to see if they would allow me to come along and see if I could still get a sound out of my cornet. I remain ever thankful for that decision!
