Ian Plant - Principal Euphonium

Ian (or Planty as he is known by everybody except his Mum), currently lives in Elland and is one of the OLD Hebden Bridge stalwarts, playing with the band for over twenty five years on and off. He learnt to play originally at our neighbours 'Friendly Band', where they saw his potential and palmed him off on us quickly! Subsequently we have not been able to get rid of him despite making him Chairman four out of five years recently. He has recently given up the Chairman position due to increased work commitments.

 

Aimee Twist - 2nd Euphonium

Aimee started playing euphonium aged 7 with Haydock Youth Brass Band in her home town of St Helens. She joined St Helens Youth under Lynda Nicholson in 1997 and sat on solo euphonium aged 16, playing in four winning performances in the National Youth Brass Band Championships and winning 'Best Instrumentalist' for Solo Euphonium in 2005. Aimee played in London as part of the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations, and her claim to fame is having performed on Blue Peter in 2000!
At the same time as playing with St Helens Youth, Aimee also played solo euph at Rainford Silver Band for a few years before leaving to go to Huddersfield University where she has just completed a PGCE in Music and is now looking for a teaching job. She has joined Hebden Bridge after a 3 year break from playing, but has also previously played with Trinity Girls, Haydock Band and Barnsley Building Society Band.
