Sale Brass has announced the permanent appointment of John Anderson as their Musical Director.

The Scotsman went to the Royal Military School of Music at Kneller Hall and on his return to civilian life played trombone with BMP Europe Goodshaw Band.

He went on to both play and conduct the band before moving to Walkden and then enjoy spells with Wingates and thirteen years with Poynton.

John was appointed MD at Sale towards the end of 2017 after a very successful four-year spell on solo trombone with Eccles Borough Band.

Since coming to the band John has helped them to a podium finish at the Fourth Section at the Butlins Mineworkers Contest in January, and then qualification for the National Finals at the North West Area.
