Meet the Band
Musical Director: Richard Wilton
Richard started learning to play the tuba at the tender age
of 8 under the tutelage of cornet virtuoso Graham Walker, quickly progressing to
the ranks of the then Hambleton Brass Band in 1983. After 10 happy years with
the band, Richard inevitably moved into the world of championship section
banding with the world famous Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band as Principal
tuba. The band had many successes culminating in becoming Yorkshire champions in
1999.
After a short spell with the Sellers International Band
under the directorship of cornet ace Phillip McCann, Richard fulfilled his
childhood ambition of joining the bass section of the Grimethorpe Colliery Band,
travelling extensively around Australasia, the United States and Europe. During
his time with the band, Richard enjoyed many successes including back to back
area championships, an unprecedented 5 in a row Brass in Concert championships
and, the highlight surely, becoming National Champion Band of Great Britain in
2006.
Richard returned to his banding roots at South Milford
Brass (formerly Hambleton Brass) in 2005, this time as Musical Director. We hope
Richard enjoys a long and successful association with the band.
