Victorian reign at Skelmanthorpe

Skelmanthorpe Band has signed Victoria Hallworth on baritone as they look forward to Cheltenham

Signing
  Victoria Hallworth is Skelmanthorpe's latest signing

The Skelmanthorpe Band has announced the signing of Victoria Hallworth on second baritone.

Looking forward

Victoria played at Old Silkstone from 1999 to 2005, and more latterly for Strata Brass until 2018, and told 4BR: "I would like to thank everyone at Strata for their constant support over the past years.

I'm now really looking forward to the new challenges coming up at Skelmanthorpe, including the National Finals in Cheltenham and the Grand Shield in 2019."
