The Dunchurch Band
At sixteen I joined the Army as a junior bandsman and after two and a half years in training including a year at The Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall joined an Infantry Regimental Band where I provided Musical support to my Army unit on various postings around the world.
Ten years later I transferred to a Corps band being permanently stationed at Arborfield Garrison, Berkshire. Throughout these ten years I performed all over the UK and travelled to various locations abroad on short band tours.
After leaving the Army I rejoined Dunchurch Band again in late 2002.
