There has been a change of plans for Steve Pritchard-Jones after he had been booked to adjudicate at the Whit Friday contest at Stalybridge Labour Club for a third consecutive year.

Steve recently worked with members of Wellington (Telford) Band and representatives from other brass bands from Shropshire including Jackfield, Shrewsbury, Newport and Wem forming a massed band of Shropshire for a whole day rehearsal and an evening concert.

From that he will now conduct Wellington (Telford) at the Whit Friday march contests.

The event raised funds for the popular Ironbridge Brass Band Festival held in July each year.
