Following the appointment of their new principal cornet, Camborne Band has announced the signing of Clive King on front row cornet.

Very experienced

Musical Director Kevin Mackenzie told 4BR: "This is a great signing as Clive is a very experienced player. He now completes our front row ready for the forthcoming West of England Regional Championship in Torquay."

The band has also welcomed back Andrew Tellam to the percussion section. Andrew previously played with Camborne in the 1980s and 1990s.

Pleased
