Welcome; To Louise Hough, who will be the first official player to be joining us! She will be contributing a dual roll by combining both playing the Flugal Horn along with the added responsibility of directing the group musically, putting us through our paces, and working out the best playing combinations in order for us to expand and develop our repertoire!

First and foremost she is enjoying playing (Just as we are) and that is exactly what we want her to do.

Jane and I have known Louise for many years playing in Brass Bands and other combinations together (before our sabbaticals) also as a true friend.

She is employed by Liverpool education music department, and is respected both teaching and conducting a wide range of pupils, from beginners to accomplished musicians. She conducts several bands and musical combinations in her work.

As part of her relaxation she is the Conductor of the Formby Band .

She has achieved some very good results in the contesting side of Brass banding.

Over the coming weeks I will ask her to put pen to paper for inclusion on this Blogg and web site (coming soon).
