On yet another of his Moroccan recruiting campaigns, WY Brass percussionist David Holdsworth went in search of a new Principal Cornet player. Abdul was packed and ready to fly back to Leeds/Bradford when he just happened to mention that Colin the Cobra would have to come too.
Sssss..sorry Colin, no offen..sssss. We’ll do without a Principal Cornet player for the time being.
Members of West Yorkshire Brass wished Craig (Bassbone) Russell a Happy 50th Birthday for Wednesday 22nd January even though we celebrated five days early in Bradford’s famed Corn Dolly public house. Sorry no pics ~ I forgot to take my camera! MANY HAPPY RETURNS CRAIG.
As part of their three days of celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day in May 2020, residents of Worlaby, North Lincolnshire, have invited West Yorkshire Brass to perform at Worlaby Village Hall. It is hoped the weather will permit a ‘Party in the Park’ style event (bring your own tables, chairs, gazebos, drinks and snacks). The programme is expected to reflect some music from the 1940s era.
Members of West Yorkshire Brass held their Annual General Meeting at 7.45pm on Tuesday 7th January 2020.
Reports from the Secretary, Treasurer and Musical Director were presented revealing the band to be ‘in good health‘ both musically and financially.
Proposals were made and voted upon unanimously to retain all those members who held official posts during 2019 for a further year.
At time of going to press, the band has engagements booked for 2020 which number well into double figures, with several more annual engagement dates still to be confirmed.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A BUSY 2020 AHEAD
