When did you start the band? I joined the band in 2003 (I think). My son, Joe, who was learning to play alto sax had been invited to join the band. Keith Colwell very quickly found out that I’d played trombone as a child and insisted that I joined in immediately, despite a 20 year break! Funniest & Daftest Moment? Dressing in swimming gear and performing as a synchronized swimmer to the music of ‘Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy’ – thanks to Mel. Greatest Moment? Meeting my wife, Julie. Band tours: Pont du Casse x 2 , Disneyland Paris, Durrington Favourite pieces of music: Dave Brubeck and James Bond Selections. Count Basie. |

The Story of the Well-travelled Trombone ................................ Bill Yarnold has kindly donated his trombone to the Band. Bill played with the Band for many years, and joined us on all of our overseas tours while he was with the band. These included Cyprus, Germany, France (twice!) and Gibraltar. But long before the Trombone was in Bill’s hands it was played in the Woofers (1WFR) Band. So we can only imagine how many thousands of miles it had travelled before coming to TTB. We can be sure it will travel many more now it is in the hands of Benjamin! THANK YOU BILL. |
