PolySteel lose Principal

The Yeovil champions lose their principal cornet to the paranormal....

PolySteel
 

The current Yeovil champions PolySteel has announced the retirement of it's principal cornet Chris Howley.

Paranormal

Chris has played a major role in the band's success over the many years but he has decided to hang up his cornet in order to concentrate more fully on his other past time — investigating the paranormal!

He has recently ventured into the world of paranormal tours with his friend, spiritual medium Ben Hooper, so something had to take a back seat.

The band would like to thank Chris for being an outstanding principal cornet over the years and wishes him the very best of luck in his new venture — he will be a tough act to followPolySteel Band

Outstanding

A spokesperson told 4BR: "The band would like to thank Chris for being an outstanding principal cornet over the years and wishes him the very best of luck in his new venture — he will be a tough act to follow!"
