Grenville previously led to the band to success, including winning the North West Area Third Section title in 2009.

Great news

Chairman Andy Black told 4BR: "Grenville's appointment is great news for everyone connected with the band and the village of Dobcross too!

This provides a major boost to our efforts to restore the status of the band and we are all looking forward to working with Grenville again."
