New personnel at Dodworth

A welcome returnee sees Dodworth strengthen the ranks.

Dodworth Colliery
 

4BR has been informed of a number of personnel changes at the Dodworth Band.

Return

New commitments mean that second euphonium player Adrian Longbottom has left the band, with former Dodworth player Kath Hinton returning to fill the position after a couple of years away, alongside principal euphonium player Steve Stockwell.

Great news

Secretary Rob Loukes told 4BR: "We were sad to see Adrian go and we thank him for all his hard work with us. It is great news that Kath Hinton has decided to return on euphonium and fill the vacancy so quickly."
