I joined the band Summer 2007 having moved to the area and wanting to meet new people.

I started on the cornet age 7 and moved about a bit, but settled on Euphonium aged 15 and never want to do anything else!

I've played for Denton Brass Band and St John's Droylesden in the past

My young son looks like he'll make a good trombonist - he has long arms!
