Success at solo contest

Stephen Murray was announced as the winner of the North East Region IABCB solo contest held at the Bohemian Centre in Ardee. Principal cornet player with the Drogheda Brass Band, Stephen played Zelda by Percy Code. And there was further good news when Eb bass player Mark Nutley finished as runner-up in the open category after playing the first movement from Edward Gregson’s Tube Concerto.

Grace English continued what was a great day for Drogheda Brass Band members when she won the U-15 section playing Over The Rainbow while Conor Rothwell secured third place in the U-18 section with Song and Dance by Philip Sparke. All in all, a great day for Drogheda Brass Band members and well done to all!
