Richard Shorey
Richard started playing cornet at the age of 10 for Severn Tunnel Band. After playing until he was 13, he took a break of around 37 years, only picking the cornet up again after his daughter Erin took up a brass instrument.
Since then Richard has been playing with Abergavenny Youth Band, helping the young players and joining them at rehearsals and concerts. He has taken his grade 1 exam and has helped out other local bands playing at local concerts.
This will be Richard's seventh visit with Gwent Charity Brass and he is looking forward to the warm hospitality of the Menorcan people.
