There are a number of new faces to be found at the Vernon Building Society Poynton Band.

Signings

Michael Hunt signs for the band on 2nd horn after previously playing with Stockport Citadel Band. He made his debut for the band at the recent North West Regional contest in Blackpool.

Meanwhile, Ryan Higgin come in on trombone from the Rainford Band to replace Eddie Webb who has left the band due to increasing work commitments. Olivia Samuel returns on horn to assist the band at the forthcoming Buxton contest.

To be able to attract one quality player is good news for any band, but to have three all arrive at once is fantasticDavid Johnson

Thanks

Spokesperson David Johnson told 4BR: "I'd like to thank Eddie for all his year’s service. He has been a fantastic asset to the band and he will be missed."

He added: "To be able to attract one quality player is good news for any band, but to have three all arrive at once is fantastic. I’m sure that they can assist us as we build on our solid placing at the North West Regional contest."
