Return to Band Members

 

Soprano cornet - vacant



Becky Abernethy - Repiano Cornet

 

Emma Shaw - 2nd cornet

Emma is the comedian of the band, and is the only one who ALWAYS has an answer for our MD! She is the band social secretary and regularly organises social activities for the band. Such events include "band camp", sponsored hike up Snowdon, and countless social "do's". Emma is another member who used to play in Hebden Bridge Junior Band.

 

Diane Gardner - 2nd cornet

Di started playing cornet at age 16 with South Midlands Welfare Band (now Leics Co-op Snibston Charnwood Brass!). Moved to Carlton Silver Band, which became Nottingham City Transport Band. Married Steve (solo horn) in May 1989 and lived in Melton Mowbray. Moved to Yorkshire in Dec 1989 and joined Hebden Bridge in 1991. Now lives in Halifax with Steve and their sons Jack and Sam.

Jamie Simmonds - 3rd cornet

Jamie grew up in Paignton in Devon and moved to Hebden Bridge when he was fourteen. He started to play the cornet in 1994 when he decided he was getting bored whilst waiting for his son Joe to have a cornet lesson, Joe subsequently gave up but Jamie has enjoyed playing ever since mainly on the back row, but for a brief spell some years ago where he was drafted in to the front row team to assist with the counting of bars rests (our front row aren't very bright!).
