Colin helped set up the band in 2009 and was it's principle Conductor for over 12 years. Sadly Colin Died March 2022 and he will always be remembered in our hearts.
Colin studied piano and trumpet at the Birmingham Conservatoire where he passed with distinction. As well as being an excellent pianist he was also a highly regarded organist. He studied organ with Christopher Robinson at Worcester Cathedral and was an Associate of the Royal College of Organists. For many years e was the principle organist at St Johns and St Giles church Ludlow.
He had spent many years as a professional musician accompanying opera singers around the country and abroad and also conducting choirs. In 2009 he helped Amanda Reeves set up the Ludlow Concert Band.
This wealth and experience enabled the band to reach very high standards. From just 5 players in the beginning the band has over 30 members and all would agree that Colin has made the band what it is today.
