🎺 Episode 3: Leading from the Front – The Principal Cornet Perspective

In this episode of the Harworth Brass Podcast, we sit down with Lyn Howard, our Principal Solo Cornet, Chairperson, and Safeguarding Officer, to explore what it truly means to lead from the front — both musically and organisationally.

🎶 From the thrill of performing top-note solos to the challenge of steering the band behind the scenes, Lyn shares:

  • Their journey from first brass lesson to the Principal Cornet seat.
  • How it feels to carry the band’s melody under the spotlight.
  • Insights into balancing leadership, safeguarding, and music-making.
  • The teamwork and trust that keep Harworth Brass thriving.

🎭 Along the way, we uncover light-hearted bandroom stories, favourite concert memories, and a few laughs about Christmas carolling in the cold!

Whether you’re a brass band player, committee member, or simply love stories from behind the music stands, this episode shines a light on the dedication, humour, and heart that power our band community.
