Pennine Brass

Pennine Brass was formed in March 1999 by John Lockwood (Chair), Bruce Jones (Secretary), Mike Pearson (Treasurer), Paul Fligg (Musical Director), Martin Leech, Ken Booth, Ruth Milnes, Sue Jones and Karen Jazwinski. These founder members were quickly joined by a number of close banding colleagues, resulting in the band's first performance on the 8th of May 1999 at a housewarming party in Halifax, followed by it's first competition at the Slaithwaite March contest on the 23rd of May 1999.
