Scaife takes Principal role at City of Bradford

Following its high-profile collaboration with the wonderful Punjabi Roots Academy to perform the Bhangra hot 'Moorni' for the visit of King Charles III, City of Bradford has announced that the talented Adam Scaife is the band’s new principal cornet. 

The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire (RBC) undergraduate is currently studying for a bachelor's degree of performance in trumpet and cornet and also performs as a member of the RBC Brass Band as well as taking part in its jazz orchestra and the folk ensemble.

A band spokesperson stated, "We welcome Adam to the band at what is a really exciting time in our development with key wins at the British Open Senior Cup and Wychavon Championship. With him leading the cornet section we hope to move further up the contest rankings."

Adam will make his contest debut with the band at the Scottish Open in Perth on 26th November.
