At the end of 2019 the band was pleased to welcome Gareth Owen flugel.  Gareth is well respected locally for his work on cornet with top bands like Grimethorpe, however following a break he has now returned to banding on the flugel seat.  

Also, at the end of last year RNCM student Dan Chan joined the band on Solo Euphonium. Dan is from Hong Kong where much of his playing experience was within wind and concert bands.   Following his graduation from the Hong Kong Baptist University Dan chose to come to the UK to study euphonium under Steven Mead and David Thornton. He is looking forward to expanding his brass band experience at Lindley
