Have a Very Happy Lindley Christmas!

Lindley is delighted to announce their first overseas signing.  Former NYBBS member Bella Nutter has joined the bands horn section.  She is from the Isle of Man and previously played solo horn with the Ramsey Town Band.  She has moved to Huddersfield to study Physiotherapy.

Also joining on 3^rd cornet is Sarah Wilson.  Talented musician Sarah is a member of the well renowned Elland Silver Youth band, with who she has competed in two consecutive European Championships.  Sarah ‘s arrival completes the Lindley cornet section.

The Band has signed 3 fantastic new players to the ranks over the Summer. Period. 

Firstly, came Sam Thackrah on flugel horn.  Sam has many years of experience with several local bands, but following a stint on cornet with Crofton Silver is now delighted to return to the instrument she loves with Lindley. 

Chris Kaye has come to Lindley on solo baritone from Wakefield Metropolitan.  Chris is looking forward to his first contest with the band at Rochdale in October.

NYBBG member, Lily Morgan comes in on solo horn from Hebden Bridge. Lily is currently studying at Huddersfield University under the tuition of Kirsty Abbotts.

A very big welcome to all three of you from your new friends at Lindley!
