Flowers Musical Director Paul Holland has accepted the role of MD at Woodfalls Band. He takes over from Resident Conductor Ben Halstead, whom the band has thanked for what they descried as his "invaluable contributions in fostering the band's growth" in the past year or so. The appointment will see the Welshman collaborate with professional conductors for contest events.
Commenting on this new role Paul said: "I'm delighted to work with Woodfalls. It balances with commitment to Flowers and enables me to help them continue to help build a stable and productive ensemble both on and off the stage." The band is currently preparing for its tour to France to perform at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in August, and for its 150th Anniversary Celebration Day on September 1st.
