Fabulous player

MD Lindon Bolt told 4BR: "Alys is a fabulous player and brings a touch of class to the top of our already strong trombone section.

I'm delighted she has joined, and along with the other players we have attracted recently gives us great momentum with a busy concert and contest period ahead."

Alys joins other recent signings, Clare Gregory, Alex Cummings and Tabitha McAlpine on cornet, along with Bob McEwan on Bb Bass and Matt Keeling on percussion.
