We are delighted to announce that Karl Stott has been appointed as our new Musical Director.

He took up conducting the Northop Youth band in 2001 and lead them through until 2009. In 2007 he also started conducting the Greenall’s Brass Band and led them to many successes during his 6 years at the front. He graduated from Salford University with a 1st Class Honours Degree under the tutelage of Dr Howard Evans, Professor David King and Brian Taylor amongst many others.
