The experienced conductor and composer attended the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama and will take up the role with immediate effect.

Second spell

Delighted

He told 4BR: "I'm delighted to be rekindling my association with Regent Brass, a band with which I hold many fond memories.

I'm looking forward to working with the players in developing the organisation going forward."

Perfect choice

In response, Band Chairman, Neil Rossiter, added: "We welcome Alan back. He's the perfect choice to develop the band after an unprecedented break in rehearsals."

He added: "As a Geneva Partner Group Band we are ambitious and forward looking in pursuing an ambitious and eclectic programme of musical activity and we are sure Alan will boost our ambitions in these areas as well as one the contest stage when we do eventually return."
