York Railway Institute Golden Rail Band - Seeks Conductor

Hi,

Well we have had no expressions of interest so far. The Golden Rail Band are a friendly lot and would really like someone to take them on from the New Year onwards. This is a great opportunity for either an experienced conductor or possibly someone with a background in brass playing who aspires to develop their conducting skills.

Please get in touch via Barbara Capaldi. Contact details above.

Regards

Martyn

Best of luck to Gordon and the band - I'm sure that you'll enjoy many successes together. (And I've really enjoyed helping out in the interim - the result at Malton will be hard to forget!!!)
