Having recently retired and looking for things to fill my time that didn't involve running up mountains, I picked up my tenor horn for the first time in a long while. I helped out as cover for a couple of engagements with the band and when a vacancy arose, I jumped at the chance to join full time. In the short time I have been with Cockerton, we've won the Durham League, played a live broadcast and had a great feed at my first Christmas gig !
