Musical Director, David Woollam, was appointed in June 2007.

In many respects it has been a return to his roots. Dave played Tenor Horn with the band as a teenager back in 1975. His father John(who was also a Police Officer) introduced him to the band and he never looked back.

15 very happy years followed during which he met his future wife Rachel (who incidentally plays flugel horn for the band).

He then spent 14 happy and rewarding years at the Robert's Bakery band predominantly on Solo Euphonium followed by two very challenging years as Solo Euphonium with Warrington based Wire Brass.

His first experience with the baton was in 2000 as MD of the South Cheshire Based Lions Youth Brass.

Dave recently "retired" from Police after completing 32 years service but continues in the role of Musical director. Always a committed musician he is delighted and proud to have been appointed as Musical Director of the Band.

In the three years since he was appointed the band have been promoted to third section and are set to compete at their second successive National Championship finals. A visit to Germany is scheduled for 2010 and the band has considerably raised its profile. Dave is extremely proud of what the band have achieved and is looking forward to many more years working with the band.
