Well, thank you Robert for the introduction. As I'm blogging this at work and about to dash off to another dull meeting, I'll make this a quick one (you'll be glad to hear!).
A very short summary of my banding history (it's all in the title of this post really).....was a starter member of the re-formed Manea Silver Band wayyyy back in 1982 (baritone, then euphonium). Had a couple or three years conducting the band between David Wilson and Peter Cain (around the very early 1990s). At the same time, I started playing for Littleport Brass Band (whom I still play euphonium for). And, as of Monday 11 February 2013, am now proud to be the MD of Manea Silver Band. I'm a Manea lad through and through; and, despite living in various places around Cambridgeshire over the years, have always considered Manea as home.
Anyways, that 9am meeting is looming; so, look forward (?!?) to a slightly more 'bandy' blog post later. And if you're really lucky, I may even add in some appropriate pics And remember, practise little and often...makes a world of difference :-)
