More new players - and a farewell

We are pleased to welcome Helena Wardle to the band on flugel horn. Helena joins from Unite The Union Band and will make her debut with the band at an engagement on home ground in Poynton on 14th June.

Meanwhile, Darren Samuel comes in on bass trombone having previously played for Roberts Bakery and Rainford Bands. Darren will make his debut with the band at the Whit Friday contests.

Darren is replacing long serving bass trombone David Deacon who has made the decision to retire from playing after being a member of the band for well over 20 years.

Everyone at Poynton would like to thank David for all his years service to the band. He has been a fantastic asset to the band who always gave 100% and he will be missed.

Commenting on the new players, MD Neil Samuel said, "I'd like to welcome both Darren and Helena to the band. Both are great players and I'm looking forward to working with them both for a long time to come."
