Lindley Band is very pleased to welcome some new blood to their cornet section with the arrival of Huddersfield University students Adam Chappell and Gethin Wyn Jones. Gethin comes to Lindley from the Llanrug Silver Band in North Wales, where he was assistant principal. Adam’s previous band was Bradwell Silver and he has joined Lindley after performing with Bradwell in the Cheltenham finals. Both lads are looking forward to their contest debut with Lindley at Dewsbury Town hall .

Lindley Band would like to announce the welcome return to the brass band scene of two highly experienced players.  Ex Besses euphonium Keith Johnson commences his second stint at Lindley, this time on the solo seat.  Keith says he was lured back into playing with the promise of enjoyment and beer!  Also, following a 4 year break from banding, Dave Seymour joins Lindley on bass trombone. This is Dave’s first venture onto the bass trombone seat during his illustrious 50 year playing career and he is excited about this new challenge.
