After more than four years at the helm, 4BR has been informed that Simon Jones and Fulham Brass are due to go their separate ways.

Prime-time

Lucy Jackson, PR officer said: "The last few years with Simon have been a very exciting chapter in the history of Fulham Brass, with increased contest experiences and promotion to the Second Section. We've also been involved in many interesting projects which have included numerous prime-time TV appearances."

Lucy added that Simon will remain on the best of terms with the band and is hoping to be involved in the forthcoming production of 'Brassed Off' as well as leading the band at the Whit Friday contests.

It’s been a difficult decision. My time at Fulham has been really rewarding, but I feel that after four years it’s time for both the band and myself to move onto new projects and challengesSimon Jones

New projects

Simon added: "It’s been a difficult decision. My time at Fulham has been really rewarding, but I feel that after four years it’s time for both the band and myself to move onto new projects and challenges."

The band will start the process to appoint a new MD shortly.
