Steven Booth and Tracey Ashton were delighted to confirm the safe, albeit slightly unexpectedly early, arrival of one Daniel Joseph Booth on Monday 7 September 2009.

Had young baby Booth had enough of Daddy moaning about rhythm, practice, and Diversions as he prepared Waitakere for their back to back win in the Auckland Regional Band contest the day before?

He caught us all unexpectedly, but we are delighted here’s here.Steven Booth, MD The Trusts Waitakere Brass

“He caught us all unexpectedly, but we are delighted here’s here,” proud Dad Steven Booth told his Band.

Congratulations to the new parents!
