Black Dyke tenor horn player Siobhan Bates will return to her musical roots next weekend when she will be the featured soloist with Rolls Royce (Derby) Band in a concert in Buron on Trent.

The concert at Mark's Church in Winshall (DE15 0HS) on Friday 5th April (7.30pm) will see Siobhan perform a recently commissioned solo entitled 'Fusion' from composer Simon Oliver.

Full circle

Speaking about her appearance she said: "I couldn't have been happier when Rolls-Royce invited me to perform as a guest soloist.

It feels like coming full circle for me, considering my musical journey began just up the road in Swadlincote at the local music centre."

Recently Siobhan enjoyed a weekend in Saint Etienne in France working with Brass Band Loire Forez.

Admiration

In response, band spokesperson Heather Horsley added: "As a Burton girl myself, I've known Siobhan since she started playing tenor horn at Gresley Colliery Band as a 13 year old.

We've all watched her amazing career develop with admiration, and the band are thrilled to have the opportunity to be performing with her."
