The Queensbury Band trombone team will be on hand in Huddersfield for the Black Dyke Band Festival — so why not join them...

Black Dyke

The ensemble featuring Dr Brett Baker, Gary Reed, Adam Warburton and Adam Reed will be on hand to lead trombone delegates through the day with specialised tuition, workshops and ensemble playing.

Brett told 4BR: "The trombone players we connect at the Festival are always some of the very best people we come across in banding — eager, fun and committed. As with the festival as a whole it's become an established and important part of our outreach work."
