Leyland players enjoy the music and fun in Fermanagh

A team of tutors from Leyland Band have been enjoying themselves in Fermanagh this weekend.

Leyland
  Leyland Band members have been having a great time in Northern Ireland.

This weekend members of Leyland Band are in Northern Ireland to tutor at the popular Fermanagh Brass Brass Summer School.

The course which has taken place on an annual basis since 2012, gives players from Northern Ireland the opportunity to access individual lessons, masterclasses and recitals from some of the UK's leading instrumentalists.

On this occasion the crack Leyland team of John Doyle, James McLeod, Brian Heyes, John Stevens and Ben Thomasare using their years of experience and musical knowledge and have been joined by Les Neish, Owen Farr and Paul Duffy to provide the unrivalled high-class training and tuition.

The team has considerable experience and enjoys a great time, so we have really enjoyed working with enthusiastic highly motivated delegates and having plenty of fun too!James McLeod

Exciting avenue

Leyland solo euphonium, James McLeod, told 4BR: "This is another exciting avenue that is being developed by Leyland Band.

The team has considerable experience and enjoys a great time, so we have really enjoyed working with enthusiastic highly motivated delegates and having plenty of fun too!"
