Derek Horsfall     (Principal Eb Bass)

He's like a proper notherner.  From up t'North....
 
He's played in proper Brass Bands too, like Brighouse & Rastrick.  And if you are really lucky he'll tell you about the old days.....
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Andy Fryer     (Eb bass)

The most caring man in the band, officially..... he's a nurse by day and by night a mild mannered bass player.  Watch out ladies, he's a real charmer too.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Andy Jowett     (BBb bass)

Another Andy but this one either works for a Bank or an Estate Agents, he can't decide.  What is certain though is that he's a jolly fine Bass player.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tim Perry (BBb bass)
Our resident transport and logistics consultant (lorry driver).  He drives all over the UK and Europe but still manages to beat the rest of us to the bandroom!
 
Rumours of Tim practising his Tuba whilst driving are greatly exaggerated.
