| My Role at MSB: |
Flugel |
| When I joined MSB: |
November 2009 |
| Most Memorable Banding Moment: |
The year 2005 when WCB (sorry) came 3rd in the 2nd section finals then went on to win the WBBA Championship section on Year of the Dragon! |
| Most Embarrassing Banding Moment: |
During a concert interval I made a very late decision to take a bathroom break only to come out and find the whole band and MD were on stage waiting! I then had to walk down through the audience to my own personal ovation (so possibly my favourite moment as well)! |
| My Personal Profile: |
I started playing, aged 8, under Ron Bligh in the Woodfalls junior band. Aged 10 I played my first contest as principal cornet on Indian Summer and joined the then Woodfalls 'B' band where I stayed on cornet till about 16 when I was moved to Flugel.
Under the tutelage of Jim Cooper I managed to pass a NYBB audition on Flugel (although sadly had to turn down the chance to play with them) after which I took a four year break to drink bear in Cardiff!
I resumed service with WCB shortly after graduation, moving onto principal cornet in 2002 where I stayed until the band's sad demise in 2009. |
