Excited

A spokesperson told 4BR: "We are very excited to have secured his services as the band looks to get back to entertaining audiences in Leamington and Warwick after an enforced break during the pandemic.

In response Micah added: "I'm excited to be joining Royal Spa Brass. My programming will focus on music that will be challenging and enjoyable, as well as keeping our audiences entertained!

We've already secured an exciting collaboration with composer Rhys Parker, which will result in three new works written especially for the band."
