Congratulations to Newstead's principal euphonium, Lynden Cooper, on being appointed as Musical Director of the Whitwell Brass Band. The appointment gives Lynden the opportunity to further develop his conducting skills (having been conductor of the non contesting Crich band for several years) alongside his playing and bandmaster responsibilities at Newstead and we are sure the move will benefit Lynden and both the Newstead and Whitwell bands.
Our congratulations also go to friend of the band Russell Gray on leading the Fairey (Geneva) Band to first place in the 2010 English National Brass Band Championships on 26th June. Russell appeared as guest cornet soloist in our 2009 Christmas Concert at Hucknall Parish Church, the same venue that the band were appearing at as part of the International Byron Festival when news of Russell's success was received!
