May 2020It is with great sadness that the band announces the passing of our Eb bass player, Trevor Badcott after a long illness. A founding member of the band, known at the time as Torbay Concert Brass, in 1999 Trevor has been involved with the band since then, and had in that time served mainly as Librarian and keeper of the instruments. Due to his local knowledge and connections he has been able to find us a new base whenever the need arose and even built us a store room in our current home at St Andrews Church. He will be sadly missed.
Due to the current circumstances we will not be able to celebrate Trevor’s life in the way he deserves, but are putting plans in place for such times as it is safe to gather again.
