The band said a fond farewell to Danny Lowery after the NW Championships this year. Danny has served the band over two stints since 2010. He has made enormous contributions both on- and off-stage as a soloist, member of our management team and founding musical director of our Community Band.
He may think he has escaped but Flixton has a way of staying with you. Danny continues to conduct the Flixton Community Band and is currently working very hard on their programme for a major concert on 30th April to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
And it is Richard, a product of that Community Band, who steps up to Solo Euphonium to replace his mentor. Meanwhile, the Band has worked its charm on our ‘deps’ for the last contest. We are delighted to confirm that both David Yerkess (Soprano) and Chris Osborn (Eb Bass) have agreed to stay on and fill the vacancies they covered so well last month.
Adie Smith is our Musical Director.
