The Hammonds Band has welcomed the signing of their new solo horn player Anabel Voigt.

Following her graduation, she will be undertaking her Masters at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester in September and will make her contest debut with Hammonds at the British Open.

Anabel recently released her debut solo CD entitled, 'Farbenspiel', and is a former winner of a Craxton Memorial Trust Award.

Thrilled and excited

Welcoming her to Yorkshire Musical Director Morgan Griffiths told 4BR: "We're thrilled to welcome Anabel. She has already made a big impression in rehearsals, and I look forward to hearing her perform on the concert and contest stage."

In response Anabel said: "I'm super-excited to be joining Hammonds. Like Tredegar they are a vibrant and dynamic band with a great musical outlook under the MD and filled with an amazing group of people."
