No more Bridge to cross for Hadfield

Dennis Hadfield has parted company with Hebden Bridge Band.

Hadfield
 

4BR has been informed that Dennis Hadfield has parted company with Hebden Bridge Band, having been at the helm for the past two years.

Friends

Dennis told 4BR: "We've had a successful spell together but it is time to part company. I have enjoyed my time there and have made some new friends. I am looking forward to spending more time with my 8 week old daughter Rose, however, my phone is always on to those who need help, either conducting or playing my tuba.

I wish the band every success and hope they can build on the good work we have done."
