Somthing About Yourself.I learnt to play at Thornsett Mini Band, and then moved up the ranks at the main band from 3rd cornet all the way to principle. I then joined Chapel-en-le-frith Town Band (but still stayed at Thornsett) and I have had some fun times there. I then joined Tintwistle Band for a bit but found it was not the band for me. So I went back to Chapel. This year (2013) I did the regionals with Besses o'th' barn band under Alan Whychly I am still playing there. Last summer I went to Brass band summer school. I enjoyed it so much that I plan to go back again this year.
