I started playing Trombone at the Salvation Army in Hednesford (the Midlands) aged 11 and they haven’t succeeded in getting rid of me yet - I'm currently playing with Darlington S.A. as well as Cockerton Prize Silver Band. My wife, daughter and son have all played in brass bands under the watchful eye of Principal Cornet, Ian Robinson, so when invited to join the band I thought I’d better continue the family tradition. My banding highlights include playing at the Royal Albert Hall, Durham Cathedral and The Sage; also, being conducted by Eric Ball, Ray Steadman-Allen and, of course, Andy Hunter.
