Introducing a Brand New Trombone Team at Brighouse & Rastrick Band!

Brighouse & Rastrick Band is thrilled to announce an all-new look for the trombone section, as they welcome back a very familiar face…

• Steven Walker returns to the band on 2nd Trombone,
• Joe Heartfield steps up into the Solo Trombone seat, and
• Olli Atherton holds things down on Bass Trombone

The trio made their first appearance together at a recent concert at Hull City Hall, and what a debut it was!

Steven is no stranger to the Brighouse family, having helped the band to National Championship victories in 2010 and 2011, and narrowly missing out on an historic hat-trick in 2012. He also spent several years working with their wonderful Professional Conductor, Professor David King, during his time with YBS, contributing to some of their famous contest triumphs.

This exciting new team puts the band in great stead for 2026, as they look to retain their British Open title and, hopefully, add a few more trophies to the cabinet.

Please join us in giving Steven a huge welcome back, and wishing Joe and Olli every success in their new roles!
