Ashworth to inspire Horwich rejuvenation

The experienced David W Ashworth will be leading the rejuvenation of Horwich RMI Band.

Ashworth
  Dave Ashworth has enjoyed considerable success during his long banding career.

Horwich RMI Band has announced the appointment of the vastly experienced David W Ashworth as their new Musical Director.

As well as notching up years of success with numerous bands, David is also an Executive Officer with the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators.

Catalyst

The move will hopefully provide the catalyst for rejuvenation as the band, which was reformed just over two years ago was unable to attend the recent North West Area contest in Blackpool, although with a group of dedicated players providing a very strong core the future now looks much brighter.

His passion and ability are unquestionable and we see him as the final piece in the jigsaw to make for a successful future. We're all now looking forward to a lot of hard work!Band Manager, Andrea Moss

Hard work

Band Manager, Andrea Moss told 4BR: "We're delighted to welcome David. His passion and ability are unquestionable and we see him as the final piece in the jigsaw to make for a successful future. We're all now looking forward to a lot of hard work!"

They added: "The band enjoys great local support for concerts and from sponsorship from local estate agents Miller Metcalfe who have supported and followed the bands progress since we reformed."
