What instruments have you played? Cornet, flugel horn & tenor horn
What bands have you played with? Coleford Town Band, Coleshill Town Band, Wilnecote St. John and Amington
Favourite piece of music and why? New World Symphony by Dvorak because it was the first piece I played at a contest (Weston-Super-Mare) and we won!!
Least favourite piece of music and why? Anything I can't play, yes that opens it up a little!
Best banding moment? Gaining the Flugel seat at Newhall it goes without saying.
Most embarrassing band moment? Too embarrassing to mention but my second was at the first contest I played with Newhall. I dropped my mute in a really quiet part and came in a bar too soon but that was not all, I went to apologise to the MD afterwards and tripped over an instrument case, I made a great impression!!
What is your banding ambition? To be playing with Newhall when they become champions of great Britain!! Ok that maybe a tad ambitious to be champions of the 4th section would do to start with!
