Death of Jenny Line

LGB Brass stalwart Jenny Line has been annnounced.

 

LGB Brass has informed 4BR of the death of Jenny Line.

Jenny sadly passed away in the early hours on Monday 26th January after a brave battle with cancer.

Integral part

Jenny has been an integral part of the band since 1995, from it’s earlier days as the Glynde and Beddingham Band, to it’s present day as LGB Brass.

Encouraged

She played flugel with the band, moving from solo horn in 2007. Known universally in the band as ‘mother’, Jenny cared for everyone, young and old, good player and not so good. She encouraged and helped all she came into contact with. Jenny has played and depped with many local bands and was well known, and liked by all who met her.
