I'm proud to currently be the Assistant Principal Cornet for the Rainford Band. My playing history started with Old Hall Community Band when I was seven, where I progressed to Principal Cornet at the age of thirteen. From there I played with the Old Hall Brass Band (the senior band within the organisation) progressing to Principal Cornet there when I was 16. At the age of 18 I progressed my career and was lucky to play with a wide range of brilliant bands, including both competitive and youth ensembles. Namely, I've played for Foden's Youth, North West Youth, Eccles Borough, Leyland and Freckleton and Wingates Bands over my 20 year career, before settling at Rainford Band in 2023.

As grand as they were, they pale in comparison to the weekend I had the utmost privilege to spend in Normandy and Ypres with The Massed Band of the Pegasus Memorial.
