Integral

It has seen the duo become integral parts of two major championship Grand Slams, a brace of tours to America and one to South Korea amongst a number of high profile achievements.

Speaking about the news Musical Director Philip Harper commented: "The Summer of 2025 will see lots of regeneration across the membership of Cory Band. Glyn and Helen are wonderful members and we will miss them hugely.

The upcoming Europeans will be their last contest with the band, and they will also be with us as we record the third instalment of our 'Cornerstones' CD series in June. We will post a full tribute nearer the time they leave which will fully reflect their years of glittering contribution to Cory."
