Lindley is a friendly and well established First Section band from Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
The band is very proud of its intrepid trombone player Victoria Oliver and her husband well regarded percussionist Simon Oliver, who are both taking part in the London Marathon on the 22nd April. Victoria is running to raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Simon for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
It’s not too late to sponsor them via their fundraising pages below. Good Luck to you both!

Meanwhile, outgoing MD James McCabe has moved in the opposite direction and has returned to Rothwell Temperance Band as principal cornet.
Within the Lindley player ranks, Alison Pickles has moved to principal cornet, whilst the talented Harry Newton, a pupil at Chetham’s School of Music, has joined on solo euphonium. Haydn Osborne has been promoted to second cornet, joined by Andrew Chandler who has returned to the band after a short break and 10 year old Lucas Williamson, another successful product of Lindley’s Tower Brass, has joined on percussion.
