West Yorkshire Brass are delighted to have recruited their youngest member yet. Joining the band during Lockdown (so we haven’t met him yet) is Harry Duguid ~ pronounced Duggudd (I’m already in trouble with his Grandma Linda because I pronounced it Doogood).

Welcome Harry – I didn’t know where to locate you on the MEMBERS tab so I found an empty slot on 2^nd cornet for the time being. We’re all looking forward to meeting you.

PS. Is ‘Lockup’ the opposite of ‘Lockdown?’ Probably not. No doubt I’ll be in trouble for that too!

Even Lockdown can’t slow the recruitment process, with Mary Binns joining the West Yorkshire Brass Tenor Horn Section.

Mary has played with the band on odd occasions in the past, and we are delighted she has chosen to join us on a permanent basis. Well done Mary and Welcome.

Our June appearance from ‘The Bandstand in the Lake’ has been cancelled.

Call me a cynic if you wish but: ‘Why am I not surprised?’

It is with much regret that we have to inform those who knew him, Paul Harper died recently. His death follows a long battle with cancer. Paul played cornet with West Yorkshire Brass for many years. RIP PAUL.
