New Soprano For Black Dyke
Black Dyke Band is delighted to announce Connor Lennon as their new soprano cornet. Director of Music, Professor Nicholas Childs stated, “When Black Dyke realised new work commitments would be a challenge for our stellar soprano Martin Irwin, I was obviously delighted to secure the services of the extremely talented Connor Lennon.”
Richard Marshall, the band’s long time Principal Cornet was also glowing in his praise of this latest signing stating, “Having known Connor for a number of years, his development into one of this country's finest soprano players has been well recognised. I'm obviously excited to welcome Connor into the section and band."
Commenting on his new role Connor expressed his excitement: “I’m naturally thrilled to be joining Black Dyke and working with Professor Childs, who I first met when I played at the Yorkshire Youth Band. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Professor King, David Thornton and everyone at Brighouse for helping me develop as a player and for their friendship over the last year.”
