“Brass banding runs deep in my family, going back to my grandfather, through to my parents and my brother. To me, brass banding is where I developed a love for playing music, and it has led me to have a great career in music-making. I am grateful for all of the opportunities and amazing people I have met through brass banding and am honoured to keep the legacy alive for my wonderful family. It truly is an honour to be part of this amazing ensemble.”
