Stewart takes his leave from Woodfalls

Scott Stewart has taken the decision to take his leave after 11 highly enjoyable years as top trom at Woodfalls Band.

Woodfalls
 

4BR has been informed of the resignation of Scott Stewart from his position as solo trombone of the Woodfalls Band.

Difficult decision

Scott told 4BR: "It’s been a difficult decision to make having enjoyed so many good years with the band.

A change in work commitments has meant some challenging journeys to band over an extended period, and it has become increasingly difficult for me to strike a balance between band, work and family.

I look forward to continuing to play though when time and opportunity allow.”

Enjoyed

He added: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my 11 years at Woodfalls and appreciate all the hard work the committee and conducting team have done for the band.

I would also like to say a big thank you to Chairman, Paul Street, and to everyone in the band for their friendship and support over the years and wish them every success for the future."
