Latest recruit to high flying Friary Guildford Brass Band is Matt Gilbert, who joins them as a solo cornet player. Matt, who moved to the area 5 months ago, previously played for the top flight Fairey (Geneva) Band based in Stockport, now the current English National Champions. Matt started his banding in the West Country, later moving to the Midlands to play with Jaguar (Coventry) Band.
Got a great idea for a project to inspire your community?
Our annual workshop took place on a bitterly cold November day, and Richard Marshall, principal cornet with Black Dyke Band, came down to Surrey to give an excellent day’s entertainment and education.
