Bye bye Barton

Trinity Girls say a fond farewell to MD Stuart Barton.

Trinity Girls
 

Trinity Girls have said goodbye to MD Stuart Barton. The only all-female brass band in the country, are now on the look out for a new Musical Director with immediate effect.

Build and progress

A spokesperson told 4BR: "The band has an almost full complement of players and although contesting is a challenge that the band enjoy, the diary also includes a variety of other engagements. The girls, who are looking to build and progress, are looking for a well motivated band trainer who would enjoy the challenge of being part of this unique band."
