Long Eaton trio set for Areas

Long Eaton welcomes a new trio of players to the band in time for the Regional contest in Bedworth

Long Eaton
 

Long Eaton Silver Prize Band has announced the arrival of a trio of new players in readiness for the forthcoming area contest.

Trio

Mally Leivers arrives on trombone via the RAF, Ransome’s, Teversal and Huthwaite, whilst Simon Hooley comes in on tuba after previously playing for both for Thoresby and Ransomes.

Finally, Dawn Bratby takes up the sticks on tuned percussion, and was the first to join the band when she appeared with Long Eaton at the recent NEMBBA contest in Derby!

Welcome

MD, Sharon Stansfield told 4BR: "We hope they have a happy and successful association with the band. We also send Vic Henton our very best wishes as he recovers from his recent illness."
