Revamped

One person who's definitely going to be surfing the newly revamped BRASS website is musician Norman Kennedy.

The 60-year old photocopier engineer has played Bass trombone for Pittington Brass for the past six years.

Norman has lived in Chester-le-Street with wife Bette for over seventeen years and they have two grown up married sons.

Norman's favourite type of brass music is from the Salvation Army repertoire.
