All the players have so much respect for the trio of conductors, and we are now looking forward to another successful year entertaining audiences up and down the countryGareth Crane

Great opportunity

Meanwhile, Sandy added: "This is a great opportunity to work with a forward thinking band on some exciting collaborations and musical projects, as well as keeping the name of Grimethorpe at the very forefront of brass entertainment."

Respect
