Flixton
 

The Flixton Band has announced the official appointment of Alan Hobbins as their MD.

Experience

Alan made his debut with the band at the Butlins Mineworkers Contest and has since agreed to accept the position of MD on a full time basis. It is hoped that this partnership will flourish and together the team will carry on progress up through the sections.

Delight

Speaking on the appointment, Band Manager Paul Thomson commented to 4BR: "We are delighted that Alan has accepted the MD position after our success at the area, in which we just missed out on a place at Harrogate. This appointment has already seen great amount of enthusiasm from the band enabling its continued growth through the rankings, whilst adding that extra sparkle."
