Christmas comes early at Gresley

Santa Claus brings a new direction for Gresley Colliery Band.

Gresley
 

Christmas came early to the members of Gresley Colliery Band when it was announced that the vastly experienced Stephen Shimwell GGSM Hons(Lond)PGCE is to be the band’s new Musical Director.

The band is hoping that Stephen will build on the band’s strengths and take them forward.

First class reputation

Colin Raggett, the band PR Officer told 4BR: "We are immensely proud to have secured the services of Stephen as our MD and are looking forward to a long and successful relationship with him. He is a much respected MD and has a first class reputation which we are sure will help the band move forward."
