II started playing euphonium at the age of 10 when my dad set about reviving the long-defunct village band. In my adult life I have moved around the country quite a bit but banding has been my one constant, allowing me to meet new people and enjoy music wherever I've been. After playing euphonium and baritone for a number of years I  settled on cornet as a new challenge about ten years ago. I'm still working on it! I've been a member of Cockerton Prize Silver Band since January 2020..
