Joining forces

William Morley will join forces with long serving Fairey's cornetist Brain Taylor in a duet for cornets.

Being a local lad, Will has been a fan of the Fairey Band since he first picked up a cornet at primary school and the up and coming star recently passed his grade 8 cornet with distinction.
