  There have been a number of new signings at Haverhill Silver Band

The last few months have seen a number of new signings at Haverhill Silver Band.

Andy Hunt returns to banding on repiano cornet following a short break. He previously played for Yorkshire Imperial DUT Band and said that he was 'excited' to be back playing once again.

Meanwhile, Michael Dawson comes on solo EEb tuba. A freelance musician, he previously played for the likes of Brighouse & Rastrick and Fairey as well as the Hallé Orchestra.

The duo follow the recent arrival of Ryan Higgin on solo trombone and Liz Tweedle on solo baritone who joined from Pemberton Old Wigan and Wingates respectively.

Andy and Michael are two fine players — and we are delighted to welcome them just ahead of a busy concert and contest seasonMD Paul Filby

Delighted

MD Paul Filby told 4BR: "Andy and Michael are two fine players — and we are delighted to welcome them just ahead of a busy concert and contest season. Ryan and Liz joined the band a few months ago and have already shown themselves as highly skilled and dedicated musicians."

He added: "We would also like to thank Ellie Bould, who prior to the arrival of Andy, helped the band on repiano alongside her main role as a fine principal cornet of Tendring Brass, until a permanent member could be found."

The band will shortly be performing for the High Sheriff of Suffolk at his summer garden party and will appear for the first time at the St Edmundsbury Christmas Fayre later this year.
