The YBS Band has announced the welcome return of Riki McDonnell for the forthcoming British Open this weekend.

Via Croatia and Tonga

Riki has jetted in from down under via Croatia to link up with the band where he will join Mike Kilroy on euphonium. Riki last played with the band last year at Brass in Concert and has enjoyed a busy year that has seen him play in front of the Princess of Tonga.

Not only is he a fantastic player but his energy and enthusiasm are infectious. Riki and Mike are an awesome duo on euphonium, it’s been an enormous boost to the band having them together for the OpenMD, Morgan Griffiths
