The Lindley Band has carried on its autumn recruitment work with the arrival of two highly experienced players.

Ex Besses player Keith Johnson commences his second stint at the band on solo euph, lured back he says by the promise of great music making and a few pints of his favourite beer!

Also following after a four year break banding is Dave Seymour, who will be taking on the bass trombone role — a new venture in what has been a half century of brass band playing.
