Besses Boys Band has announced the signing of Steph Coward as their new flugel horn player.

Following impressive performances on front row cornet at the Preston and Area contests this year, Steph was offered the role by MD James Holt.

Delighted

He told 4BR: “I’m delighted Steph has agreed to take the position with us. We first met a few years ago and I was aware she wasn’t playing with anyone.

I initially contacted her to help out at the two contests but since the flugel seat was available I had no hesitation offering her the job — and I’m delighted she has joined on a permanent basis.”
