Kevin told 4BR: "It's with regret that I have come to the decision to resign my position as MD with the band.

My work ethic has always been hard work and total commitment in order to achieve results."

Smashing nucleus

Kevin added: "The band has a smashing nucleus of dedicated members but gaps in consistency didn't allow for careful preparation for rehearsals and concerts. I wish the band every success in the future."

Kevin ended his period with the band after the run-up to Christmas and is now looking forward to new conducting opportunites in 2008 in addition to his busy adjudication schedule.
