 Oregon or the Gael

I have played in bands for over 60 years. Mainly the Arbroath Band. I have played different instruments - Euph, Trombone, and cornet. I was solo Euphonium with Arbroath band for many years, during that time they gained promotion from the 4th section to the Championship Section. I won many solo prizes at the Arbroath Festival and the Northern Counties. I was also in a quartet that won the Northern Counties for 11 years. At present I play in two bands, Arbroath and Dundee Instrumental. I am also Hon. Vice President of Arbroath Band.

I started playing trumpet in primary school when i was about 7. I have been in several school bands since then. I Joined D.I.B at the end of 1998 and have been there ever since in various positions, including principal cornet. I have guested with few bands over the years but have stayed with D.I.B

 To Play: - Oregon, To Listen - Czardas

I started playing aged 11 and worked up the school bands to the Dundee Senior Wind Band ensemble aged 13 in 2003, achieving principal horn aged 14. I aso joined Dundee Instrumental Band in late 2003 working up from 2nd horn to solo horn in early 2008, gaining experience from City of Discovery Brass Band from late 2007. I intended NYBBS Reserves for the 1st time this summer after an improvement in my playing over the past year under the new instruction of Gordon Evans MBE.

 Oregon, Born Free, Shine as the Light, Music.... the list could go on

I started playing cornet when I was 10 years old and continued until I left school. I then had 4 years off while I was at university but decided to start again on returning to Dundee. I joined Dundee Instrumental Band in 1999 and haven't looked back since.

 Anything by Nirvana (OOPs thats my Rock Band)

I started playing the trombone at St Johns High School. I moved onto Baritone a couple of years after that. I joined the RNR band after leaving school and played with them for a few years. Before joining Dundee Instrumental Band I hadn`t played for more than fifteen years but after a chance meeting with John Tonner he convinced me to 'play again'.

 I enjoy traditional brass band pieces.

I joined Dundee Instrumental Band in 1994 as a Euph player. I had a lot to learn as I hadn't played since leaving school in '62. I joined Tayport Instrumental Band about 2002 and stayed with them approximately a year and then went to Buckhaven and Methil Band. I returned to Dundee Instrumental in 2004.

 Star Wars - Imperial March

I began at age 16 on Euphonium with Turiff Silver Band in Aberdeenshire. Within a year I was playing 2nd Baritone and contesting. In due  course I moved onto 1st Baritone playing with Turiff Silver for nearly 6 years. During my  university years in Edinburgh I had a very brief and interesting 3-4 months with Dalkeith & Monktonhall Colliery band under Alan Fernie. Upon moving to York in 1995 I spent about a year with South Milford Brass; starting on rep cornet,  moving onto 2nd cornet and then 3rd cornet...... If I there had been a 4th cornet position I'd have been put there! I then spent several years on 1st baritone (thankfully) with non-contesting York Golden Rail Band. Upon moving to Dundee I began playing with Dundee Instrumental Band in spring 2004, initially on Baritone and then briefly on Euph and then back onto Baritone ( where I belong!).

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

I started playing with the 18th Company Boys Brigade Band in 1948. I then joined St Margarets Band in 1949 on Tenor Horn under David Fairweather, moved to Baritone then Euph until 1955-57 National Service with Royal Engineers when I played in Local Salvation Army Bands when possible. On demob joined Dundee Trades Band on trombone under Albert White and guested with the RNVR band and Cupar Band under Duncan Campbell. Rejoined St Margarets in 1962 when bands amalgamated. Band name changed to Dundee Instrumental in 1981.

 Rhapsody for Trombone ( Solo with the band)

I started playing brass at age 7. I played in school and central wind/brass bands ( mainly Euphonium and Baritone) before joining Perthshire  Youth Brass in 1995. I then moved onto Perthshire Brass around 1998 when I started to play Eb  and BBb Bass. I played with them until  2003  when I took a short break from playing brass. I then joined Dundee Instrumental in April 2007 after hearing them at the Caird Hall when  they came 2nd in the Scottish Championships 4th Section.

 McArthur Park

Iain began training at school in the 1950s, then played piano, clarinet and saxophone in orchestras and dance bands over 20 years on a semi-professional basis. He was initiated into brass bands when his family joined Tayport Instrumental Band, where he took up percussion and became in succession, Treasurer, Secretary and Chairman. When most of the family moved onto bands in the Championship Section, he joined them, initially with Lochgelly Band (under the baton of George Bennet), then at Alva. Meantime, he served as Treasurer of the Fife Charities Band Association. He and wife Margaret returned to TIB when George became their conductor, then later (via Livingston Brass) moved to Dundee Instrumental Band, in the fond hope that it would be less energetic than in the upper competition sections. Iain retired from his lifetime post of University lecturer (Dundee and St Andrews) and Chartered Accountant in 2007. Sadly, in that year also, his wife Margaret who had played Bass and Baritone in the same bands, died, and was very kindly recognised by Frank Culross (Conductor of TIB) with his dedicated brass band march "Gala Parade"
