The International Staff Band has announced two new cornet players to the ranks to replace Phillip Cobb and Alan Losh who have both had to step down due to work commitments.

The band welcome Carl Neilson who will sit number two to Kevin Ashman and David Purkiss, also on solo cornet.

The pair will make their official debut for the ISB at Sheffield on January 26th where the band will present their first programme of the year.
