Mark Wilkinson

Mark Wilkinson's career as a performer has been entirely in Brass Bands and
started when he
was six years old.
After spending five years as principal cornet with the Besses Boy's Band, Mark
progressed to
take over the coveted position of Principal Cornet with the National Youth
Brass Band of
Britain, and later moved on to the same position with the legendary Wingates
Band.

In January 1992, Mark accepted the offer to become Principal Cornet with the
Britannia
Building Society Band, aged only 20, and with it took over one of the most
illustrious
positions in the banding movement.

Mark is in demand throughout the country as a solo performer, being a featured
artist at the
1993 European Brass Band Championships Gala Concert and more recently at the
1995
Cornet and Trumpet Convention held at Manchester's Royal Northern College of
Music. As
well as winning numerous solo awards and competitions, Mark has been featured
on BBC
radio and also has solo recordings to his credit.


Nigel Fielding

Nigel was born in Glossop, Derbyshire. He received his first Soprano Cornet
tuition from
Glossop School, where he was a member of the Glossop School Brass Band.

Nigel attended University College Salford where he was taught by David King.
Soon after
graduating  Nigel was offered the job of Soprano Cornet tutor at Salford, a job
he still holds
today, as well as teaching at many schools in the North West of England.

He has played Soprano Cornet with the Wingates Band, Foden OTS Band, Fairy
Band, Black
Dyke Mills Band and now with the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

Nigel has won every major title in Brass Bands, and has been a soloist in many
countries,
including New Zealand, Japan, Brazil and the USA

Glyn Williams
(i.v.m. drukke werkzaamheden van Jonathon Webster is het mogelijk
dat Glyn de workshop voor Bariton verzorgt.)

>From Aberystwyth in North Wales Glyn first received brass tuition on cornet at
age 9. He
moved on to Baritone before settling on Euphonium which he has been playing for
some 7
years.

He began his brass band playing with the non-competing Towyn Silver Band,
moving on in
turn to the 4th Section Royal Oakley Band and Menal Bridge, the 3rd Section
band where he
remained until attending University College Salford in 1994. Glyn has played
Solo Euphonium
with the National Youth Brass Band of Whales with whom he won the Best
Instrumentalist
Award at the National Youth Brass Band Championships at Wembley Conference
Centre in
1992.

As a Band soloist he has received numerous prizes for best Euphonium and in the
field of solo
playing has to his credit three first and two seconds at the annual Urdd
Eisteddfodd.

Glyn was finalist in the British Open Solo Championships in 1994 and is thought
by many to be
a potential future winner of the title.

Since attending University College Salford, where he is a 1st year BA student
in Brass
Musicianship, as well as the college band, Glyn has played with BT Brass Band,
BNFL Band
and is currently with Britannia Building Society Band where as Solo Euphonium
he has made
his contribution to Britannia's recent successes in winning the Swiss Open
