Two of the latest recruits to the YLH stable were Hannah Taylor, aged 13, who plays principal cornet with Audley Band, and 11 year old Matthew Hurst, who plays for Lostock Hall Memorial Band and who was recently presented with the prize as the 'Youngest Player' at the Brass at the Guild contest in Preston.

Great connection

YLH's Development Manager Lloyd Shipp told 4BR: "We have a great connection with both Audley and Lostock Hall and it's great to see these young players proud as punch in the uniforms and walking out gear which we provide.

They are two cracking youngsters — polite, talented and eager to represent their bands in the very best way possible. They were a credit to Audley and Lostock Hall and we were delighted to welcome them both to our trade stand in Preston."
