Trinity Girls Brass Band

Trinity Girls were awarded Second Place at Buxton Contest, a first podium place with their new conductor Anna Hughes-Williams

Following the very sad passing of their charismatic, inspirational conductor Mr Richard Evans in April 2022, Trinity Girls were very pleased to appoint their first female conductor since the band was founded in 1959.

In Richard’s last few months with the band he asked Anna to help him out by conducting Trinity Girls. She was a tower of strength to both Richard and the band and worked hard to ensure that Trinity Girls were in a position to compete in the Area Contest at the end of February 2022.

The band now look forward to some new challenges through the rest of 2022 and beyond.

Trinity Girls are very pleased to be celebrating their 60th Anniversary this year and will be doing so with a number of concerts and events.

After months of looking for a suitable conductor, Trinity Girls have welcomed the help of the one and only Richard Evans.  Richard has agreed to bridge the gap and is doing a sterling job at improving the standard of the band.

Trinity Girls achieved their best ever placing in the Band’s history by gaining 2nd place in the Third Section of the National Brass Band Championships 2017.

The Band are promoted from the Third Section and will compete in the Second Section from January 2018.

Trinity Girls took place at the North West Area Championships at the Winter Gardens Blackpool on Sunday 26th February 2017. Competing in the 3rd Section with 17 other bands, they secured second prize and a place in the National Finals in September 2017. This is only the 4th time in the Band’s history that they have qualified for the Finals.

Trinity Girls are delighted to announce, with immediate effect, the appointment of Brighouse and Rastrick’s solo trombonist, Ryan Watkins, to the position of Musical Director of the Band.

Denise Grundy, Chairperson commented “Ryan has such passion and enthusiasm for music that we feel sure his appointment will be of huge benefit to our unique band. We look forward to an exciting future together. It would be great if we could also attract some new players to join us on this journey, essentially bass and solo trombones plus a tutti cornet but, as always, other players would be more than welcome”.

Ryan Watkins commented “I am delighted to accept the position with the band. This unique band has a fantastic future ahead of them and I’m looking forward to musically guiding them for the foreseeable future.”

The band would like to thank all those conductors who have helped them over the last 2 years, in particular Jonathan Davies who led them through 2 Area contests and to a 2nd place at Ripon Entertainment Contest in May this year.

After 18 months at the helm of Trinity Girls, Jonathan Davies is to step down to take time to focus on his career following a recent promotion.
With a 2nd prize at the recent Ripon Entertainments Contest ending his time with the band, Trinity Girls would like to thank Jonathan for all his help, hard work and support
The Band are now looking for a new conductor who will help the band realise their full potential and take them forward to achieve future success.
If you are interested in the position of MD, please email: Denise (Chairperson) at tgbb@live.co.uk
Rehearsals take place twice weekly on Monday and Wednesday 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Trinity Girls Band will be competing at the forthcoming North West Regional Championships in Blackpool after conductor Jonathan Davies offered to step into direct the band following the recent departure of MD, Stuart Barton.

Sincere thanks

A band spokesperson told 4BR: “We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone following the recent departure of Stuart Barton.

We have had many offers from local conductors to support our wish to compete at the North West Area contest and we are absolutely delighted that Jonathan Davies has so kindly agreed to take us.”
