I was beginning to think there were only two people from Ireland on the
list. My name is Trevor Johnston and I play second cornet in the Drogheda
Brass Band (and the national band, come to think of it). As David knows,
Drogheda and Loch Garman are both in the Championship section here, so we
have surely competed against one another on many occasions.

The test piece is quite good - though quite difficult. Hopefully I'll see
you up there!
