Until recently he held the soprano cornet position at Kingdom Brass where he won numerous individual awards helped them to their excellent victory at Blackpool in the Senior Trophy 2006. Tommy also previously played piccolo trumpet with the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble.

Undoubted talent

When asked about joining Clackmannan Tommy commented to 4BR: "I'm looking forward to this new challenge with renewed enthusiasm and hoping to help the band attain its position in the top flight. I must also say it will be a pleasure to work with Paul Kiernan who's undoubted talent has brought a wealth of success to the band throughout 2007."

Double bass

Also joining the band is John Cotton who has signed on flugel horn and his fiancée Susan Narborough, who joins on back row cornet.
