Building the Future: The Story Behind the Harworth Brass Training Band

Season 2 is here! 🎉 And what better way to start than by talking about one of the most exciting new chapters in the story of Harworth Brass.

In this episode, Pete is joined by Margaret Rawlings, 2nd Trombone player and the driving force behind the brand-new Harworth Brass Training Band, launching this September.

Margaret talks about her own musical journey, where the idea for the Training Band came from, and why creating opportunities for new musicians is so important.
