MK Brass has announced the appointment of Jonathan Mott as their new Musical Director.

The former Ransome and Virtuosi GUS tuba player has previously conducted Raunds Temperance and Enderby and returns to conducting after a short break from banding.

Great bunch

Jonathan told 4BR: "I must be mad really, but after having had a short break I found the lure of the bandroom too much. They are a great bunch at MK and I'm really looking forward to working with them."
