We are delighted to announce the appointment of our new Musical Director, Stuart Humphries.
Here’s what Stuart had to say about stepping into the role:
“Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be the MD for Cumbria Youth Brass Band. I have over 30 years of banding experience, having played in many sections, and I had the privilege of playing with the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain. I currently play with both Egremont Town Band and North Lakes Brass, (a third Section Band).
My specialist instrument is the tenor horn, though I am currently playing cornet. CYBB has exciting times ahead — especially our first competition next year.
Questions are always welcome at rehearsals. Let’s work together to be the best we can.”
