The Leicestershire based Enderby Band has announced the signing of the vastly experienced Andy Gray on solo trombone.

Andy previously played with Hammonds Sauce Works, Yorkshire Imperial and Black Dyke during the 1980's and 1990's, before concentrating his playing with several orchestras and show bands.

Friendship

Musical Director, Simon Gresswell is also clearly delighted to rekindle on old friendship, as he told 4BR: "I first met Andy way back in 1982 when we were both players with Hammonds and he later joined me at Black Dyke.

Andy is a superb trombone player who will add lots of experience to us at Enderby."
